This book explores the relevance of new sources, dimensions, and
characteristics of knowledge for supporting creative and cultural
organizations and initiatives. Special emphasis is placed on
cultural heritage, participatory approaches, and entrepreneurship
in the cultural and creative sector. The role of cultural heritage
and contemporary culture as a source of economically effective,
socially sustainable development is also discussed. The authors
examine new ways of developing and testing new and innovative
models of management for cultural heritage assets. In line with the
participatory approaches in culture heritage governance promoted by
the EU, the authors analyze participatory approaches to cultural
and creative initiatives. The role of public and private actors, as
well as the way they interact with each other in order to achieve
collective outcomes, is of particular interest in this section of
the book. With regard to cultural and creative entrepreneurship,
the book adds an innovative view of cultural ventures, offering
some clues from an entrepreneurial ecosystem perspective.
Adaptability and sustainability are key factors in the success of
any business in modern society. Developing unique and innovative
processes in organizational environments provides room for new
business opportunities. Integrating Art and Creativity into
Business Practice is a key reference source for the latest
scholarly research on the tools, techniques, and methods pivotal to
the management of arts and creativity-based assets in contemporary
organizations. Highlighting relevant perspectives across a myriad
of topics, such as organizational culture, value creation, and
crowdsourcing, this book is ideally designed for managers,
professionals, academics, practitioners, and graduate students
interested in emerging processes for entrepreneurship and business
performance.
Managing knowledge assets and business value creation in
organizations: measures and dynamics provides an advanced,
state-of-the-art understanding of the links between the knowledge
assets dynamics and the business value creation. This publication
focuses on the theory, models, approaches, methodologies, tools and
techniques for measuring and managing organizational knowledge
assets dynamics supporting and driving business performance
improvements. This comprehensive work is a substantial contribution
to the field in terms of theory, methodology and applications to
replicate, support and challenge existing studies and offer new
applications of existing theory and approaches.
As digital technologies occupy a more central role in working and
everyday human life, individual and social realities are
increasingly constructed and communicated through digital objects,
which are progressively replacing and representing physical
objects. They are even shaping new forms of virtual reality. This
growing digital transformation coupled with technological evolution
and the development of computer computation is shaping a cyber
society whose working mechanisms are grounded upon the production,
deployment, and exploitation of big data. In the arts and
humanities, however, the notion of big data is still in its
embryonic stage, and only in the last few years, have arts and
cultural organizations and institutions, artists, and humanists
started to investigate, explore, and experiment with the deployment
and exploitation of big data as well as understand the possible
forms of collaborations based on it. Big Data in the Arts and
Humanities: Theory and Practice explores the meaning, properties,
and applications of big data. This book examines therelevance of
big data to the arts and humanities, digital humanities, and
management of big data with and for the arts and humanities. It
explores the reasons and opportunities for the arts and humanities
to embrace the big data revolution. The book also delineates
managerial implications to successfully shape a mutually beneficial
partnership between the arts and humanities and the big data- and
computational digital-based sciences. Big data and arts and
humanities can be likened to the rational and emotional aspects of
the human mind. This book attempts to integrate these two aspects
of human thought to advance decision-making and to enhance the
expression of the best of human life.
The traditional view of the relationship between business and the
arts is very much a one-way affair: organisations may endorse, fund
or publicise the arts but the arts have nothing to offer from a
business perspective. The Value of Arts for Business challenges
this view by showing how the arts, in the form of Arts-based
Initiatives (ABIs), can be used to enhance value-creation capacity
and boost business performance. The book introduces and explains
three models that show how organisations can successfully implement
and manage ABIs. Firstly, the Arts Value Matrix enables managers to
see how organisational value-drivers are affected by ABIs.
Secondly, the Arts Benefits Constellation shows how to assess the
benefits of using ABIs. Finally, the Arts Value Map shows how ABIs
can be integrated and aligned with organisational strategy and
operations. These models lay the foundations for a new research
area exploring the links between arts and business.
