Course content:
Imagine a start-up in the creative industries that looks for investors and at the same time seeks to cooperate with NGOs. Imagine a corporate foundation that promotes an arts project across five continents. Imagine a festival that aims to provide a platform for artists and audiences from diverse backgrounds. Imagine you being part of such an endeavor and asking yourself about how to manage your project with all the complexities that it entails. If you can imagine one of these or similar settings: Welcome to this course!
As illustrated in the examples provided above, the context for acting and for decision making in organizations in the arts, culture and creative industries is shaped by complexity. Intersectoral governance structures, manifold stakeholder relations, as well as networks of global value creation, to name but a few of the determinants and dimensions that play a role in understanding the nature and the practices of such organizations, deserve a thorough consideration. Against this background, the course “Management & Leadership in Arts, Culture & the Creative Industries” focuses on concepts that might be useful to face current and future challenges and opportunities. Firstly, selected traditional management and leadership concepts are analyzed, and their contributions and limitations with regards to topical questions are elaborated and reflected. On this basis, the concepts of Relational Economics and Transcultural Management are introduced, including application models such as the Stakeholder Model or the Transcultural Values Management System, providing relevant insights in terms of the requirements to act successfully in a complex and diverse network of relations. As these concepts are part of the research agenda of the Chair of Institutional Economics at the Leadership Excellence Institute Zeppelin | LEIZ, some of the latest findings as well as perspectives on current leadership research will be presented and transferred to the context of the arts, culture and creative industries.
Educational objective:
The aim of this course is to provide a learning arena to discover various management and leadership concepts which prepare the participants to act in an environment of multiple, cross-sectoral and transcultural stakeholder relations. This learning arena comprises individual and collective text work, input presentations by the lecturer, case studies, moderated discussions, as well as interactive formats in groups and in the plenum.
