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.
