How can artist-scientist collaboration be of value to science and technology organizations? This innovative book is one of the first to address this question and the emerging field of art-science collaboration through an organizational and managerial lens.With extensive experience collaborating with and advising institutions to develop artist in residency programs, the author highlights how art-science collaboration is such a powerful opportunity for forward-thinking consultants, managers and institutions. Using real-life examples alongside cutting edge research, this book presents a number of cases where these interactions have fostered creativity and led to heightened innovation and value for organizations. As well as creating a blueprint for successful partnerships it provides insights into the managerial and practical issues when creating art-science programs. Invaluable to scholars and practitioners interested in the potential of art-science collaboration, the reader will be shown how to take an innovative approach to creativity in their organization or research, and the ways in which art-science collaborations can mutually benefit artists, scientists and companies alike.

This book is an exploration of the entangled spatial relationships with and within organizations and research practice. Situating our environment as an active participant in the outcomes of day-to-day living heightens the role space can have as a co-creator of experience, behaviour and emotion. Physical environments tend to fade into the background, becoming an unseen, untended, accompaniment in our journey. However, through active attunement and deep noticing, spatial details arise through our bodies, senses, conversations and physical encounters.As the nature of work continues to evolve, understanding and shifting our relationship with the work environment broadens the scope of how space and work are engaged and performed. This thoughtful book will be of great interest to academics and students of organisational studies, as well as those involved in interdisciplinary research across geography, anthropology and the social sciences.

Murano has historically been one of the most important handicraft districts in Italy due to its tradition of glassmaking, giving rise to a unique local economy and highly specialised workers. While art historians have made numerous contributions to the study of this reality, less active have been scholars of economic history, business and management. With rare exceptions, the existing literature lacks an investigation of the factory, processes and workforce behind the creation of value in this ancient production tradition. Characterised as a work of oral history, this book is a prosopography based on the stories of four witnesses in various historic glassmaking factories, recorded through a series of long and repeated interviews.The aim is not to provide an exhaustive description of the dynamics of glass making, but rather to offer an interpretation of certain aspects of the field through the experiences and reflections of people who have worked in it for a long time. This book puts the stories, as told by witnesses, at the centre, inverting the traditional role between collection and restitution of data that usually characterizes academic publications. It will be of great interest to scholars and students of crafts and creative industry studies, business history and organisation studies, as well as all those with an interest in Murano glass.

The economy remains a rationalising tool for explaining the condition of the artist, both for professional and for experts, even when this implies a form of dissociation between the artist and the economist. Focusing on the relationship between art and the market removes entire sections of the social imagination linked to art. This book provide answers to what appears to be a mysterious phenomenon, young people's vocation for art, by focusing on real-life situations and testimonials. Divided into three parts, it examines in turn the entry into the art world, the commitment to a project, which often takes an entrepreneurial turn, and finally several forms of commitment to transforming society through creation. It will be of great interest to scholars and students of the arts economy, work and employment and entrepreneurial ecosystems.

This book uses an ethnographic lens to examine the ambitions of young artists in France and beyond. It explores the intersection between organisations, social media and the self, examining views of young artists ambitions for the future, as well as the organisation of space and time by public infrastructures and private conglomerates, inventing and discovering traditions, all against the backdrop of an increasingly digitized society.The author was part of several theatre project teams, among them a European Union of Theatres project. The projects consisted of plays acted out by young comedians based in theatres across Europe; she also met with many young artists in visual arts and fashion acting as entrepreneurs. In this regard, the intersection between the private and public is interrogated and examined via digital technologies and the use of social media. This book sits in the tradition of arts and management studies, will appeal to researchers in organisation and management studies, as well as those interested in the intersection between the humanities and business.

This original and thought-provoking book takes a new approach to engaging with organizational theory and making sense of organizations. Consisting of seven plays written by the author, each is followed by a stimulating commentary by a noted scholar, exploring the wider contexts and values of applying theatre to organisational environments and management education. As the first work of this type in organisational theatre, this book will be of interest to scholars in the field of organisational learning, leadership training, art management, arts-based learning and creativity innovation. Alongside the scholarly discussion, the author provides the reader with the opportunity to experience the plays and apply them to education, research and the workplace.Including seven plays and commentaries Soft Targets- Capitalist Pigs- Blasphemy & Doubt- Cow Going Abstract- The Invisible FootThe Age of Loneliness- Through the Reading Glasses
