, Inhoud
The course consists of six weeks of two-hour plenary lectures and two-hour tutorials. In
the lectures theories related to that week's required readings are discussed. Each lecture
will focus on a specific theme such as: competitive dynamics, marketing strategy,
organisation theory, the impact of new technology and international business. In the
lectures we will examine the apparent and real differences between the creative
industries (for example movies) and other industries (for example shampoo). In the
tutorials the emphasis lies on theories in relation to business cases from the cultural and
creative industries. Students will hand in group case assignments before the start of
each tutorial. These case assignments will be the input for the discussions during the
tutorials and (partly) be graded.
Aanbevolen voorkennis
The course is suitable for students with an interest in cultural and/or creative
industries, especially for those who intend to follow the Entrepreneurship and
