MANAGEMENT AND ADVANCED MARKETING OF ARTS AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS I

The course aims at introducing to students the problems that cultural organizations management deals with. Different perspective and analysis tools are offered within a framework of strategic and operative managerial topics.

Students will acquire knowledge of the fundamental concepts for the analysis and understanding of contexts, of the behaviors of the actors and their relationships, and the main approaches and tools with which to describe and interpret the governance of cultural production organizations, in the aspects related to strategic and operational management.
They will develop their own ability to apply the concepts and theoretical models proposed during the course (also through group work) and to critically reason, highlighting potentialities and limits of their applicability in the field of cultural productions.
Group work and discussion in the classroom will help develop research skills and independent study of materials (texts and academic articles, data and information available on the web, etc.) and also communication skills.
