Kommertslikkusena

Kommertslikkusena is an Estonian term that translates roughly to "commerciality" or "as a commercial venture." It refers to the quality or nature of something being undertaken with the primary goal of generating profit. This can apply to a wide range of activities, from small businesses to large corporations, and even to artistic or cultural endeavors that are produced and marketed for financial gain.

The concept of kommertslikkusena implies a focus on market demand, economic viability, and return on investment. When an activity is described as kommertslikkusena, it suggests that its success is measured not only by its intrinsic value or quality but also by its ability to attract customers and generate revenue. This can sometimes lead to discussions about the potential compromises made in artistic integrity or social benefit in favor of commercial success.

In Estonia, as in many other countries, the role of kommertslikkusena is a significant factor in the economy. It drives innovation, creates employment, and contributes to the overall economic development. However, it also raises questions about the balance between commercial interests and other societal values, such as cultural preservation, public service, and environmental sustainability. The degree of kommertslikkusena in various sectors is often a subject of public debate and policy-making.
