EFFECTIVE INTERACTION OF SMEs AND CREATIVE INDUSTRIES: MECHANISM AND OPTIMAL MODEL
Аннотация
In the context of Kazakhstan’s transition toward an innovation-driven and digital economy, the integration of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with creative industries has become increasingly important. These sectors have high potential for generating value-added products, boosting exports, and creating new jobs. This study aims to develop a scientifically grounded and practically applicable model for effective collaboration between SMEs and creative industries, taking into account international experience and national specificities.
The object of the study includes SMEs and creative industries actors in Kazakhstan, as well as the institutional, legal, and infrastructural environment that shapes their interaction. The research focuses on cooperation formats, organizational mechanisms, public support measures, and digital and educational tools that enable integration between these sectors.
The methodology is based on a combination of systems, institutional, innovation, and digital approaches. Comparative analysis, case studies, and content analysis of policy documents, analytical reports, and statistical data were used. The study reviews successful international practices from countries such as South Korea, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Singapore to identify transferable strategies suitable for Kazakhstan’s context.
As a result, a multi-level interaction model was developed, including outsourcing, joint projects, startup investment, educational initiatives, and platform solutions. The findings confirm that strengthening collaboration between SMEs and creative industries enhances innovation, increases productivity, and amplifies the economic contribution of the creative sector. The proposed model can inform national policy and the design of programs supporting entrepreneurship and creative industries in Kazakhstan.
