Building the Creative Economy: Managing Creative Capital in Museum's Development Departments

Abstract

The goal of this master’s research capstone is to investigate the role of the museum within the creative economy. Specifically, a correlation is made between how museums manage their creative capital and how this process contributes to the creative economy. A synthesis between human resource management and resource development, this paper specifically focuses on creative capital in a museum’s development department. Ultimately, the paper connects these concepts of creative capital management to the greater idea of the creative economy and how museum’s do/can contribute.
