Presenting this critical overview, at a time when interest in aesthetics and managements studies is rapidly increasing, Derrick Chong explores a vital sub-discipline: arts management.

Using a diverse range of sources that include contributions from contemporary artists, prominent management theorists and the experience of arts managers, topics discussed include:

arts research
cultural entrepreneurship
collaborations in the arts
artistic leadership
institutional identity
arts marketing
creative approaches to financing
organizational forms and dynamics.

The book makes a concerted effort to address the artistic, managerial and social obligations of arts and cultural organisations operating in contemporary urban environs. As such, it is a must-read for students and scholars of business, management and art.
