“Per una teoria manageriale del valore dell’arte e della cultura nei contesti territoriali”

The present paper introduces and develops an interpretation schema of the valorisation process of arts and cultural organizations in specific contexts. The model goes beyond the general limits of an exclusively economic perspective of the impact of culture organization in local contexts. The paper, starting from three main research, namely competitive advantage of nations, constellation value production through network organizations and knowledge management, presents an interpretation model based on the description of five main connections between arts and cultural organizations production processes and local context. The model is developed for the utility of arts and cultural organizations decision-makers and as an evaluation tool for cultural policy-makers, fundraisers and patrons.
