Knowledge beyond Standard

In Denmark, as well as globally, creative industries are experiencing heavy growth. To operate successfully in these industries require knowledge and skills beyond what is covered by general management programmes.

The programme’s main focus is on the management of the process work found within the creative industries. Management of Creative Business Processes develops your ability to manage a firm’s creative processes as well as integrating creative inputs into commercially feasible products or services. As a CBP student you will learn to engage global networks within the creative industries with a wide array of skills covering areas such as strategy, marketing, financial and legal as well as idea generation and project management all within the creative industries.

Creative industries

Through this managerial approach, you learn to understand the organisation of a firm in general, as well as the creative industries specifically. Examples of creative industries are; film, music, advertising, architecture, industrial design, fashion and software development.

Innovation – the management of creative processes

Creative business processes are also crucial to many innovative firms outside the creative industries. The programme covers business processes and general theories of innovation and their application and connection with creative firms and industries. The programme’s focus on innovation includes entrepreneurship in general, gathering and processing knowledge, and well as generating and sharing ideas inside and outside the organisation. By understanding the theory and application of these creative processes you will learn how traditional industries seeking to be innovative can benefit from adopting creative processes that are commonly found in the creative industries.
