Overview

Business Administration - Entrepreneurship and Management in the Creative Industries of the University of Amsterdam leads to questions, such as:

How, and by whom, is the economic value of creative goods decided?

How should we understand the phenomenon of superstars versus celebrities?

Is the industry becoming more liberal and diverse, or will it be dominated by algorithms developed by high-tech businesses like Netflix and Spotify?

In this track, you learn theory and study practice of international competition in industries like music, fashion, and the arts. You critically analyse the dynamic processes that drive success (or failure) by addressing tensions that are common in these industries: art versus commerce, creativity versus management, craft versus technology and individual inspiration versus creative systems.
