本文檢視國內研究文化創意產業、創意城市、創意階級的論著，歸納其類型，刻劃其研究軌跡，提出批判性的研究問題，並參考國外的代表性論著，指出台灣相關研究的特質與有待思考之處。透過文獻檢閱，本文指出台灣的相關研究以理論進口加工、行銷與政策分析、實務討論為主，理論深度與批判性思考比較欠缺。文化創意產業的部門分類、就業人數與產值的統計分析，在方法論上有待商榷之處甚多，也缺乏全盤統整分析的架構。

This research note conducts a literature review on the studies of cultural/creative industries and creative class/cities by many Taiwanese
scholars, typifying the writings and delineating the trajectories. Then, the paper examines the performance and styles of international investigations to highlight the problems emerging from the works of many Taiwanese scholars. It seems that deep theoretical reflections and methodological refinement have been absent in many Taiwanese studies on the topics.The final part of the paper summarizes the paper and tries to discuss the structural mechanism that has caused the problems.
