The Module ΠΠΑ521, "Cultural Economics and Management", consists of seven (7) sub-units corresponding to weeks.
The Module examines the definitions of the cultural and creative economy and explains why it is necessary to study separately the cultural and creative industries. The particular contribution of cultural industries to the economy is understood through a specific study of the structure of cultural industries and their contribution to critical areas such as employment, exports and national products.
The module examines as well the economies of culture within the EU and the importance of shaping a sustainable development strategy. It analyses cultural capital management policies that play a key role in the development of the creative sector of the economy, and comments on the importance of public or private initiatives such as urban regenerations or festivals. The Module analyses ways in which cultural organisations and businesses broaden their reach whether they are active in the public or private sectors. It analyses the financial results and financial position of a cultural enterprise, presents financial analysis tools and makes special mention of the impact of technological change and, in particular, the role of the Internet in the finances of cultural organizations and businesses.
