我们所熟知的知识经济在“创造力经济”面前显得黯然失色。过去,价格、质量等大部分与知识相关的数字化的分析性工作是美国公司的天下,但现在这类左脑工作已经被迅速转移到薪酬低廉、劳动力训练有素的亚洲和东欧国家,如印度、中国、匈牙利、捷克和俄罗斯等。如今,一种新的核心竞争力悄然出现,美国公司已经率先步入一个由想象力和创造力主宰的新经济阶段,通过创新来推动经济发展。 The knowledge economy we are familiar with is eclipsed by the “creative economy.” In the past, most of the digital and analytical work related to knowledge, such as price and quality, was dominated by U.S. companies, but now such left-brain work has been rapidly transferred to low-paid and well-trained Asian and Eastern European countries such as India. China, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Russia. Nowadays, a new kind of core competitiveness has emerged quietly. American companies have taken the lead in entering into a new economic stage dominated by imagination and creativity and promote economic development through innovation.
