(Discovering the Creative Industries)
by Anthony Rhine (Editor), Jay Pension (Editor)
Business Issues in the Arts
is a text designed to address some of the most prescient business
issues that nonprofit arts organizations face today. This text is not a
how-to but an in-depth dive into fourteen topics and their associated
theories to augment learning in arts administration programs.
With
contributions from leading academics in arts administration, the book
guides readers through an exploration of those topics which have been
found by practitioners to be most vital and least explored. Chapters
include numerous case examples to illustrate business theory in the
artistic and creative environment. The academic contributors themselves
each come with both professional backgrounds and research experience,
and they are each introduced at the start of their chapters, allowing
for a collection of voices to navigate through some oftentimes
challenging topics.
This book is designed for an
advanced undergraduate course or a stand-alone graduate course on the
intersection of business and management and the cultural and creative
industries, especially those focusing on business issues in the arts.
