Beskrivning

The traditional view of the relationship between business and the arts is very much a one-way affair: organisations may endorse, fund or publicise the arts but the arts have nothing to offer from a business perspective. The Value of Arts for Business challenges this view by showing how the arts, in the form of Arts-based Initiatives (ABIs), can be used to enhance value-creation capacity and boost business performance. The book introduces and explains three models that show how organisations can successfully implement and manage ABIs. Firstly, the Arts Value Matrix enables managers to see how organisational value-drivers are affected by ABIs. Secondly, the Arts Benefits Constellation shows how to assess the benefits of using ABIs. Finally, the Arts Value Map shows how ABIs can be integrated and aligned with organisational strategy and operations. These models lay the foundations for a new research area exploring the links between arts and business.

Recensioner i media

'The Value of Arts for Business is a must-read for scholars of management as well as for the business leaders who seek to enhance their management skills to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century business landscape. The enterprises of the future will be seen less as mechanical systems and more like living organisms. Giovanni Schiuma combines the analytical force of a scholar with the vision and sensitivity of an artist to produce a thought-provoking exploration. Various Arts Based Initiatives provide practical ideas and platforms to help leaders to blend aesthetic intangibles such as emotive knowledge with tangible technical knowledge to affect organisational value creation.' Nicolas Gorjestani, World Bank
