     文化創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)業(yè)已成為北京市的支柱產(chǎn)業(yè)之一，在2008年為全市GDP貢獻率達到11.4%。
     cultural and creative industry就是指"文化創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)業(yè)"，是指借助于高科技對文化資源進行創(chuàng)造與提升，通過知識產(chǎn)權(quán)的開發(fā)和運用，產(chǎn)生出高附加值產(chǎn)品的產(chǎn)業(yè)。而從更廣泛的意義上講，這也屬于一種creative industry（創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)業(yè)）。北京市在2006年認定798 Art Zone等地區(qū)為Cultural and Creative Industry Clusters（文化創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)業(yè)聚集區(qū)），爭取形成自己的cultural brand（文化品牌）。
     Cultural and creative industry可以增強一國的soft power（軟實力），但也有些國家利用文化滲透，推行cultural imperialism（文化帝國主義）。由于不同國家或民族間存在cultural difference（文化差異），人們在進行cross-cultural communication（跨文化交際）時會產(chǎn)生cultural conflicts（文化沖突）和cultural shock（文化沖擊）。
