Beschreibung

Strategic Cultural Center Management focuses on private cultural centers and their operational preconditions. The aim is to illustrate how to strategically manage a cultural center in varied external environments.

Analysing processes of organizational change, the author uses institutional and resource dependence theories alongside concepts such as business models, profitability, mission focus and quality management. The book examines theoretical and managerial implications, highlighting that cultural managers lean towards different strategies that diversify resource streams, facilitating agile strategic responses to institutional pressures.

Offering valuable theoretical, empirical and conceptual analysis, this book serves as an incomparable reference for researchers, postgraduate students, civic leaders and arts managers involved in the creative and cultural industries.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'A welcome improvement to our limited country-specific information about cultural centers and provides researchers and practitioners with a useful international benchmark.' Wendi Hassan, The Journal of Arts Management, Law, and Society

'Drawing from the author's interdisciplinary background in the arts and the business worlds, this much-needed book emphasises key aspects including leadership, management, funding, and strategic planning. Featuring practical know-how based on the unique and effective leadership strategies used by cultural managers, this is a great resource for researchers and leaders involved with arts and cultural management.' Armen Shaomian, University of South Carolina and President of the Music & Entertainment Industry Educators Association, USA.

"Cultural centers with their palette of artistic and socio-cultural activities are highly important cultural platforms that enable people to both practice and participate in culture. However, there has been very little research in cultural centers. Fortunately this has begun to change." Birgit Eriksson, Professor of Cultural Theory and Analysis, Aarhus University, Denmark
