Information about the PhD position
Research Project
A key characteristic of more and more cultural and creative organizations is the dual leadership structure with respect to artistic and commercial goals. Besides (and sometimes in combination with) dual leadership, there are many different approaches to handle this critical interface. The aim of this project is to explore the drivers, state and effects of structures, processes and strategies in the marketing - artistic interface in cultural organizations. The research will be conducted in the international field setting of museums, opera houses, festivals, video games, movies and/or theatres. The key questions are: 1) What drives the artistic and market orientation of cultural organizations? 2) How do these orientations change over time? 3) What structures and approaches are present to handle decisions in the commercial - artistic interface? 4) How effective are these approaches and in respect to what kind of performance metrics? The research will combine multiple methods of investigation, qualitative as well as quantitative, and also calls for skills in research liaison with host organizations and good external presentation skills.
Requirements are a Master's (MA or MSc) in the area of business (business administration or business economics, preferably with demonstrable interest in the areas of marketing and strategy) or in a related field, e.g. psychology or communication studies, with a demonstrable interest and knowledge of business administration / economics. Other requirements are: interest (and preferably experience) in field research, including studies focusing on organizations; interest in (and preferably knowledge of) the cultural and/or creative industries; mastery of both written and spoken English.
