    E3S Web of Conferences 166, 13019 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202016613019 ICSF 2020 Innovative financing of creative projects on the Kickstarter platform: Ukrainian and Polish experience Iuliia Gernego1,*, Liudmyla Petrenko2, Mykhailo Dyba1, and Vitalii Tsarov2 1Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Corporate Finance and Controlling Department, 54/1 Peremohy Ave., Kyiv, 03057, Ukraine 2Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Business Economics and Entrepreneurship Department, 54/1 Peremohy Ave., Kyiv, 03057, Ukraine Abstract. In the era of digital economy, the crowdfunding platforms provide the background to mitigate cross-country differences within project financing. In particular, creative projects are important as a vital driver in maintaining business and social sector competitive. Thereby, research problem lays upon the potential of providing crowdfunding support to overcome the creative project divide in different countries. The paper aims to provide scientific support on creative projects innovative financing in Ukraine and Poland within Kickstarter. The research methodology is based on Kickstarter data (10 years; 83 industries and 898 projects) processed by statistical analysis. The Concentration Ratio (CR) was modified to measure the concentration of efforts, considering the largest creative industries within Kickstarter platform. The results section represents high rates of concentration of efforts for Ukrainian creative projects that commercialize tangible physical goods: Product Design and Gadgets. At the same time, in Poland the main concentration of efforts is in the field of intangible intellectual products: Tabletop Games and Video Games. Thus, digital platform is a reflection of interrelations between intangible and tangible values in economies. The study results can be used within national programs of creative innovative projects financial support.

    Notes Introduction: The Genre of the Non-Place: Science Fiction as Critical Theory 1. For Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave,” see The Republic Book VII. 2. For a thorough analysis of science fiction’s origins, see Brian W. Aldiss and David Wingrove’s Trillion Year Spree: The History of Science Fiction (1986). 3. See William S. Burroughs’s Naked Lunch (1959), the Nova (Or Cut-Up) Trilogy (The Soft Machine [1961], The Ticket that Exploded [1962], and Nova Express [196 4]), The Wild Boys (1971), and the “Red Night” Trilogy (Cities of the Red Night [1981], The Place of Dead Roads [1983], and The Western Lands [1987]; Thomas Pynchon’s V (1963), Mason & Dixon (1997), and Against the Day (2006); John Barth’s Giles Goat-Boy; or, The Revised New Syllabus (1966); Don DeLillo’s White Noise (1985); Kathy Acker’s Don Quixote: Which Was a Dream (1986) and Empire of the Senseless (1988); Italo Calvino’s Cosmicomics (1965) or Invisible Cities (1972); David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest (1996); Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves (2000); and Jonathan Lethem’s The Fortress of Solitude (2003). 4. McHale derives this concept of “projecting worlds” from Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49 (1965). As Oedipa Maas begins to explore the potential existence of a secret mail system known as Tristero, she writes underneath the Tristero horn that she has copied off of a bathroom wall, “Shall I project a world?” (65). Here, Oedipa is contemplating the possible existence of an entire other pattern of reality of which she (and most of the world) remains unaware.

  • September 3, 2014 Dear Penguin Random House Colleagues, I Am
    Markus Dohle Chief Executive Officer September 3, 2014 Dear Penguin Random House Colleagues, I am writing you today about the beginning of an exciting new era for our Penguin adult publishing colleagues with the creation of the Penguin Publishing Group. This newest division of Penguin Random House U.S. will be formed by the unification and organizational alignment of Penguin’s adult publishing imprints, which were formerly managed separately as the Penguin Adult and Berkley/NAL groups, under a single guiding vision and leadership structure. I am pleased to appoint MADELINE MCINTOSH, a colleague of exceptional experience and leadership skill, to the newly created role of President, Penguin Publishing Group, reporting to me, effective immediately. She will relinquish her current duties as our U.S. President and Chief Operating Officer; the resulting changes for our corporate departments will be detailed separately today. Adult publishing at Penguin now operates as two separate groups, with the imprints working together to successfully maximize opportunities for authors across the hardcover, paperback and digital formats. Now, as our marketplace continues to evolve, and as consumer demand shifts between formats, it is clear that capitalizing on our authors’ opportunities for growth will require even greater collaboration and coordination, and even more unified publishing strategies across all formats. That is why the time is right to create a one-leader management structure for the entire Penguin adult business, while also maintaining the identity of each of its individual publishing imprints. Every day since our merger, and previously in her many positions of ever-growing responsibility at Random House, Madeline has been one of our greatest champions in identifying and implementing the opportunities for growth and innovation – particularly in the digital arena -- created by the evolving marketplace.
