incentivos

Spanish to English Other Economics
Can I translate this as 'incentives' here? Sounds a bit vague to me. Any idea on what 'incentives' might specifically refer to in this context? Thanks.

Dado que generalmente los creadores carecen de los conocimientos y los medios materiales y financieros necesarios para emprender la producción a escala de los soportes en que la creación ha quedado materializada, y para emprender su distribución masiva ampliando la demanda potencial, existen **incentivos** para que tales actividades las realicen agentes especializados que reduzcan los costes de desarrollar tales actividades . Estas economías derivadas de la especialización suponen que las fases de creación, fabricación, distribución, comercialización y difusión se lleven a cabo por distintos agentes, cada uno de los cuales añade valor a la aportación realizada por el resto de los agentes, ampliando la definición de industria cultural y diversificando el espectro de actividades privadas que pueden considerase como integrantes de la industria cultural.

"Creacion" in this paragraph Regarding your previous question which was not satisfactorily answered, the text of which is reproduced here, could the following help? I realize that "creacion" could refer to "Research and Development" or its activities.

"Given that generally the R&D people lack the knowledge/expertise and the necessary material and financial wherewithals to carry out work at the scale of support which the R&D has received so far, and in order to carry out its massive distribution efforts to expand potential demand.. . ."

can't come up with anything more specific but think "incentives" covers it fine

May I suggest.

. . . there are incentives for the specialists to accomplish such activities which reduce the cost of development. . . .

Btw, from the context given, "creacion" refers, IMHO, to "research and development."
