Arts organizations are inherently collaborative. Arts administration students need to understand the concepts and theories of leadership, management and followership in order to contribute effectively in the ever-changing and adaptive environment of arts organizations. AAD 300: Management and Planning for the Arts will explore the principles of arts management, management theory and practice, organizational structure, organizational culture and communication, decision-making and accountability, human resource management and volunteer administration, and ethics and social responsibility. Additionally, students will study the various approaches to conducting strategic planning, using SWOT analysis, as well as identification of strategic issues and the formulation of strategic plans.
