| Course content and structure |
|
Many private as well as public organizations provide “content”
or “experiences” in the guise of cultural services, events or
products. Examples span from public cultural institutions, such as
theatres and museums, to private firms within e.g. architecture and
advertising, and over to the entertainment industries of e.g.
music, film and literature.
These otherwise very different industries share certain managerial
challenges. The two most important such challenges are a)
Successfully managing the creativity of highly specialized
skill-holders who develop these industries’ products and services
(such as artists, musicians, designers, and writers); b)
Successfully managing highly uncertain and political external
environments, shaped by unpredictable tastes and trends in consumer
markets, cultural policies and subsidies.
This course introduces these fundamental managerial challenges and
discusses some basic management methods of overcoming them.
|
| Teaching methods |
| The course is based on a mix of lectures, cases,
and group work. Students are expected to contribute actively to
discussing the relevance of different management principles to
situations where creativity and creative processes are central to
competitiveness. |
