The Course aims to extend the understanding of cultural institutions under a managerial perspective and consequently to acquire knowledge on the principles and techniques that enable their rational and sustainable management. After an introduction of the basic notions of organization, management and heritage, with particular regard to the cultural sector, the course focuses on the morphological and physiological features of the organizations in charge of the conservation, promotion and enhancement of the cultural heritage within the cultural and creative production ecosystem. Furthermore, the principles and techniques of planning and controlling the value created by cultural organizations from the perspective of sustainability will be proposed. At the end of the course, students may acquire a greater awareness of the modus operandi of cultural organizations and of their role for the sustainable development within the cultural and creative production system; they may analyze cultural organizations in the managerial perspective and apply design principles and techniques for the promotion and enhancement of cultural heritage.
