The turbulent times in which organizations exist, create the need for rapid and dynamic changes. The knowledge economy through improved efficiency, cost savings is being replaced-transformed into a creativity economy, in particular creating an economic value of creativity, imagination and innovation. This increases the need for changes initiated by the management team. It involves accepting and implementing new products and technologies, as well as changing organizational behavior through diversified values and organizational culture. Hyper competitive environment implies production changes, technological changes, three critical innovative strategies, research, collaboration and entrepreneurship. Internal changes are planned changes from internal and external forces inside and outside the organization. Customers, competition, technology, economic forces and international markets are elements of external forces, while all internal decisions and work activities are made up of internal forces of change. If a top management team sets a goal for increased organization development, then all activities undergo changes that will lead to the realization of the set goal. However, it should be emphasized that not all employees are enthusiastic, therefore the implementation of the changes is met with resistance. The reasons are numerous, but with increased understanding and confidence, by reducing insecurity and self-interest, barriers can be selectively removed, organizational behavior will move towards the desired change.

Straipsnyje aptariamas kūrybiškumo supratimas. Jis nagrinėjamas kaip individo racionalių sprendimų priėmimo procesas ir kaip kūrėjo (menininko) iracionalių galių pasireiškimas. Analizuojamos kultūrinės vertybės kūrimo (materializacijos) sąnaudos ir pajamų už meno kūrinius didinimo būdai. Remiantis trimis kūrybiškumo dėmenimis (vaizduotė, sveika nuovoka, skonis), išryškinami kūrybiškumo ypatumai kuriant kultūrines ir ekonomines vertybes. Parodoma, kad ekonominių vertybių kūrėjo veiksmus rinka gerokai daugiau varžo nei menininko. Todėl nenuostabu, kad jo veiksmai kuriant ekonomines vertybes yra labiau racionalizuoti. Vis dėlto ir jie ne visada užtikrina sėkmę, kadangi neįmanoma atspėti ir tuo labiau tiksliai nusakyti vartotojų elgsenos rinkoje. Tas pasakytina tiek apie ekonomines, tiek apie kultūrines vertybes, kurių žmonės siekia.Reikšminiai žodžiai: kūrybiškumas, racionalus sprendimų priėmimas, vaizduotė, skonis, vartotojų elgsena rinkoje. THE PECULIARITIES OF THE CREATION OF CULTURAL AND ECONOMICAL VALUESValdas Pruskus SummaryDespite the recognition of the importance of culture in modern society the main attention is paid to the production of economical goods. In its turn this production requires from economical subjects specific things (proper abilities and skills) and puts its own requirements, including that of creativity. Economy and culture, though different as such are the two most important fields of human activity, so it’s possible to assume that expression of creativity distinguishes itself by certain originality. The author discusses creativity as the process of making rational decisions by an individual and as manifestation of irrational powers of an artist (creator), analyses costs of creation of a cultural value. Making distinction between three elements of creativity (imagination, sound keenness of wit, taste) peculiarities of creativity are revealed in the creation economical and cultural values. Keywords: creativity, rational decision making, imagination, taste, consumer behaviour in the market.

The widespread use of bibliometric indicators in science management, associ­ated with the ideology of pseudo-economic positivism, is not only a specific tool for evaluating the work of scientists, but also a serious challenge to the self-con­sciousness of the scientific community. After a while this simplified language becomes the usual language of a scientist’s “self-observation”. At the same time, the expansion of this language meets with increasing resistance that is mani­fested not only in publications of individuals but also in declarations of authori­tative organizations. Science should find a way to give appropriate response to the challenges of the “audit society”. Philosophy of complexity considers the self-consciousness of science as a complex organism, as a system containing a lot of subsystems, that develops under influence of many internal and external factors, is necessary for this purpose. It implies the development of “science of science” (SciSci) as a complex discipline within there would be a real interac­tion between the philosophy of science, history of science, sociology of science, scientometrics, psychology of scientific creativity, economy of science, studies in policy in science an legal regulation and legal aspects of scientific activity.
