Module Aims
1. To develop students' sophisticated knowledge and critical evaluation of diverse conceptual frameworks for identifying, developing and managing enterprise and innovation in the creative sector.
2. To support students in applying appropriate models for project planning, implementation and evaluation to their own entrepreneurial practice.
Content Summary
This module has been developed for students working in (or with) the creative industries sector who wish to develop and bring to fruition a business idea, a social enterprise or a significant cultural innovation. It is particularly relevant to recent graduates in creative industries disciplines who are self-employed, but it would also be suited to participants working in publicly-subsidised arts, 'third sector' cultural enterprises, heritage development, cultural tourism and, of course, established businesses in the creative sector. It places individual creativity within a wider societal, economic and political framework and, informed by those contexts, enables students to apply proven models for cultural and creative business development to their own entrepreneurial practice.
This module will examine foundations of research through various methods, in addition to business studies related to both freelance and corporate commercial activity.
Topics covered will include:
1. Contexts for, and controversies about, creative and cultural enterprise
2. Models for entrepreneurial self-evaluation, resource analysis and network development
3. Managing supply, distribution and marketing channels in the creative sector
4. Business planning, finance and operations
5. Contracts, rights and intellectual property
