Entertainment Management

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Entertainment Management is a relatively new business management discipline that is increasingly being taught as a Bachelors of Art degree. Entertainment Management courses aim to provide graduates with appropriate knowledge and skills to progress into management careers within the entertainment sector, managing facilities such as theme parks, theatres, cinemas, live music venues, museums, art galleries, broadcast media companies and night clubs.

Growth in these courses has been linked with growth in both the creative and cultural industries. This growth is linked to increased consumer expenditure on recreation and entertainment activities. The result is a population assigning greater importance to the free time they have and a consequential willingness to spend more of their income on the 'experience' economy.
