| Course content and structure |
|
Since the mid 1990´s the creative
industries are widely focused on as a new field with growth
potential for European countries, cities and regions. It is widely
acknowledged that creativity and cultural innovation are much more
than soft locational factors, rather they have effects on the
organisation and management of the cultural and economic life,
national policies and planning processes. This was not always the
case as we can read in the work of Adorno (“Kulturindustrie”), who
so impressively claimed the incompatibility of culture and economy.
The course is divided in three sections. The first provides an
introduction to the basic themes of the course, including the
attempt to define the issue of culture and the recent literature on
cultural policy, regional and urban management, and the promotion
of creative innovation in German speaking countries. The second
section focuses on some selected cases from the world of art, media
and the music industry. Here the focus lies among others on media
merger and media as global player, on the organisation and
management within the music industry in the light of new media and
distribution systems.
Cultural reports as political instrument will also be examined. A
brief look at the UNCTAD / UNDP report on creative industries in
development countries will show the issue´s relevance not only for
a German/Western European sphere.
In the third section, we recapitulate and reconsider the different
insights and approaches discussed during the course, with a
specific view to unravelling their conflicting perspectives and
aims. |
|
| Teaching methods |
| Three hours per week. A combination of lectures
and student presentations, with focus on students’ abilities to
analyse and conceptualise thematic and theoretical features against
the backdrop of the course literature. When appropriate the course
will use cases as a way to illustrate organizational
characteristics and dynamics, and it will include a focus on
thematic points of resonance with the two specialisations of the
MSc Business, Language and Culture: Leadership and Management
Studies and Business and Development Studies. All teaching will be
in German. |
| Expected literature |
