Course Description:
This course examines issues surrounding Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) in
contemporary societies. The course traces the development of cultural and creative
industries in both the academic field and the industry practice world. Using cultural
studies theories as the backdrop, the course investigates issues related to the CCI that
intersect culture, economy and industry. Unlike typical cultural studies curriculum
that emphasizes on critical scholarship in the cultural field, this course incorporates
critical curriculum into the fields of business management and social sciences. The
course investigates the financial and industry aspects of cultural and creative
industries both within Asia and Hong Kong. It contains three parts to provide
comprehensive overview of the CCI field. The course first begins with an introduction
of the basic constitution of the CCI in Hong Kong. This basic foundation of
understanding Hong Kong is the main view when we teach and learn about the CCI in
this course. The second section of the course covers important topics relevant to the
CCI at the theoretical level. The topics include critical history and definition, cultural
and creative industry theories and emerging themes in the field of the CCI. Weekly
discussion that is covered includes industry issues such as production, consumption,
market, place, value chain, digital distribution and international copyright, etc. The
course also includes management curriculum detailing concepts such as creative
management, cultural entrepreneurship, innovation and strategy planning in new
media environment. The third section of the course include practical case studies
which focus on students to apply specific examples in Hong Kong, China and East
Asia to analyze their concerned questions in the CCI field.
The ultimate goal of this course is to encourage students to develop creative
entrepreneurship based upon industry knowledge they learn about the CCI in this
course. Students are required to complete a case analysis of his or her own in the final
project to complete the comprehensive learning about the CCI in this course.
