Innovation and Strategy in the Creative Industries
Objectives
Since it is already evident that the digital economy has revolutionized the creative industries, it is important to think about what should be the innovation model and the business concept to be applied. This UC intends to present the market potential of the creative industries through two strategies: by presenting the disruptive concept and the relevance of an innovative business model; for presenting possible strategies to be adopted by actors in the creative industries based in Portugal, taking into account the implications of the digital paradigm and market opportunities from Portugal.
The student will reflect on the strategic challenges of a cultural entity, gaining training in the strategic application of business models to creative opportunities. This reality-based approach will give the student an innovative look at the creative industries, allowing the construction of business models that take into account the disruptive variants that shape the digital economy.
