IJCM is a peer reviewed international journal publishing high quality, original manuscripts that analyse issues related to cultural management. Contributions can be of a theoretical or empirical nature. IJCM targets scholars from academia, the business community, and the public sector. The objective of the journal is to invite and attract original pieces of work from various disciplines, using a variety of methodologies that would facilitate the discussion regarding all aspects of management and the managed use of culture, both natural and man-made. IJCM is open to different approaches (political economy analysis, economic evaluation analysis, cost–benefit analysis, financial analysis, sociological analysis, cognitive approaches, etc.). Critical review articles are also welcome; submission of these is strongly encouraged.

   Objectives

The principal objective of the IJCM is to promote scientific research and discussion around the behaviour of producers and consumers of arts and culture, and the evaluation and impact of artistic, cultural and heritage forms and manifestations in the economy and society. For that matter, IJCM strives to create a venue for academics and scholars in the field of cultural management, where they can disseminate their research and study ideas, thoughts and empirical findings to the business community as well as to academia.
