International Journal of Foresight and Innovation Policy (IJFIP), Vol. 5, No. 1/2/3, 2009

Abstract: The article aims to refine the notion of cultural resources in the knowledge economy. The distinction between intentional and non-intentional resources leads to a development of a typology of the renewal process of territorial resources. This theoretical framework allows an analysis of the dynamics of cultural resources in the St Petersburg's software industry cluster. The purpose is to demonstrate the process of transformation from an intentional to non-intentional cultural resource, reconciling the Soviet culture with the heritage of the Russian Empire. As a result of changes in the political and social environment, this specific cultural resource from which St Petersburg's software companies current benefit will eventually face the problem of its renewal.
