The right-brain alternative Authors Olga Zheleznyak Irkutsk National Research Technical University https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6276-4773 Downloads PDF (Русский) DOI: https://doi.org/10.51461/pb.74.15 Keywords: right-brain thinking, creativity, creative industries, creative economies, creative professions Abstract The era of left-brain dominance is beginning to give way to a new world in which right-brain ideals prevail and creativity is valued. Being a kind of opposition to the information age, they become a response to the challenges of the right-brain thinking age and drivers of development, presenting right-brain skills as most relevant to life and business. Creative industries/economies/professions are increasingly in demand as an alternative to the “classical” industry, as creativity provides a competitive advantage by adding value to a service or product.
