    (Emerald Publishing, 2025-11-24) Eguia Aguirre, Ibone; Wilson, James Ralph; Cuenca Cabeza, Manuel; Mosquera López, Stephanía; Bohórquez Correa, Santiago
    Purpose – This research aims to study the barriers to digital transformation (DT) faced by micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) within the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) in the Basque Country. It identifies key obstacles and explores how public policy can support overcoming these barriers to enhance organizations’ competitiveness. Design/methodology/approach – This research uses a quantitative approach, surveying 268 CCI MSMEs in the Basque Country using a standardized online questionnaire. The authors analyzed the response through descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression to assess the impact of various barriers and organizational characteristics on organizational DT level. Findings – The findings highlight that organizations with lower DT levels perceive barriers more acutely, specifically knowledge-related barriers, such as the lack of information about appropriate technologies and qualified staff, and organizational culture barriers, including the low prioritization of DT within organizations. Moreover, certain organizational characteristics and collaboration with other organizations and public administration assistance enhance the perceived level of DT and reduce the perception of the barriers. Originality/value – This research fills a gap in the literature by focusing on DT in CCI MSMEs, a sector with unique structural characteristics and significant economic importance. It provides policymakers with actionable insights to design targeted interventions that address specific barriers, thereby fostering competitiveness in CCIs.

    Generating facilitation capabilities for territorial development among young researchers: the case of Orkestra-Basque Institute of Competitiveness
    (Orkestra-Instituto Vasco de Competitividad, 2025) Eguia Aguirre, Ibone; Begiristain Etxezarreta, Naia; Gaztañaga Cinto, Mikel; Icaran, Claudia; Izulain Alejos, Ane; Sánchez Cambra, Eva
    ”Facilitative actors” have emerged as key participants in complex territorial development processes. It has been argued that they have the potential to transform a territory. However, very little has been said about facilitative actors’ own transformation. Furthermore, little work has been done on the training of facilitative actors and even less so within research centres. This chapter aims to address this gap by analysing the case of Orkestra-Basque Institute of Competitiveness, a research centre that has created a process for training young researchers as facilitative actors. Our analysis identifies the factors that have been essential for the emergence, configuration, and consolidation of this training space and proposes a framework forsuccessfully training young facilitative actors of territorial development.
