Creativity, innovation and culture are important factors for the competitiveness of not only companies, but also for nations and regions, particularly as we move from goods and service economies to “experience” economies. We will explore the links between these factors - culture, business, society and politics - by analyzing business cases, trends in society, and political initiatives. The multi-disciplinary approach with literature from business, political science and cultural theory makes this course relevant and accessible also for non-business students. The course includes field studies to businesses in the creative sector in Denmark and guest speakers from creative industries and academia.
Field Studies
- Immersion in the Experience Economy
- Students will visit various cultural centers, events, and attractions. Past visits have included concerts at VEGA, Copenhagen's main concert venue and night club, and Copenhagen's largest shopping mall.
