Managing museums and galleries

"The current economic climate, coupled with an all-embracing need for museums and galleries to respond to "the market", make a proper grounding in management essential. The "bottom line" is one of the most powerful measures of management performance. Museums and galleries invariably have a neural bottom line, they are not set up to make a profit and many of them are constrained by governmental accounting rules and charity legislation. Managing these organisations is difficult and this book tackles the issues that make it easier." "Managing Museums and Galleries examines the highly sophisticated principles and techniques of modern business management from the perspective of museums and galleries and delineates their practical application. The book surveys the day-to-day issues of time management, delegation and recruitment. It also examines the problems of strategic planning and initiating and controlling change. The study incorporates the needs of all museum sectors and discusses the management parallels, links and similarities between museums, galleries and commerce."--Jacket.
