Course Overview

The study of organisations is becoming more and more important for anyone who intends to work in cultural heritage management and needs to deal with the different professional figures in the sector, and local and international regulations. The link between cultural, organizational dynamics and management and new frontiers of social innovation is, in fact, stronger than ever.The course offers you the opportunity to acquire the basic knowledge useful for understanding the operation of public and private cultural organizations. It is proposed to illustrate how we design tasks within a cultural organization and what are the procedures used to coordinate the work of members of a company. The learning of the internal dynamics and external organizations will always be supported by case studies and examples from the world of cultural heritage, in particular there will be theoretical and practical insights on the processes of organizational design and criteria that are the basis of the choice of organizational form.

Learning Objectives

The educational objectives are therefore:
