Being the ‘Creative Industries’ (CI) a growing economical sector, many studies have tried to define it as well as to identify it's subsectors. However, the discussion still remains as to whether the sector should be called ‘Cultural Industries’ or if these should be included inside the wider CI group. Other discussions debate how the CI should be identified. So, what are Creative Industries? What makes this sector different from other sectors? It is of vital importance to define this sector and not just enumerate possible subsectors, so that future mappings can provide us exact numbers on its extension and influence on economy, both direct and indirect. This study aims to contribute to the definition of Creative Industries by analyzing previous definitions, namely in terms of criteria and subsectors.
