Vitality of Strategic Museum Management: An Application from Turkish Museums
Abstract
Collecting, protecting and presenting a diverse range of objects can be
considered as one of the main purposes of the museums. Similar to many other
non-profit organizations, management aspect of museums is often ignored or
overlooked up until the beginning of 21st century. However, with the
innovative managerial practices, impact of globalization and inter-connected
entertainment sector forced the museums to integrate strategic management
practices into their operations. Within this context, study aims to discover the
managerial perspective of the visited-oriented museums in Turkey and explore
whether they are embracing or employing strategic management principles
or not. To achieve this aim, 12 semi-structured in-depth interviews were
conducted with the museum managers. Results highlights the contemporary
administrative structures of Turkish museums which yields valuable
information. Numerous managerial implications and future recommendations
are provided for the effective management of museums.
