Course Objectives
This course aims to provide conceptual models and instruments to manage effectively events to achieve communication goals through the application of advanced marketing techniques. We examine typical managerial decisions, from goal setting and targeting to creativity issues and evaluation of results. The course also deals with trade fair participations.
Besides a limited number of theoretical lectures, the course draws upon sessions supported by case studies, field projects, in-class exercises and participation by guest speakers from leading organizations in their respective fields.
Please note that this version of the course (6 credits) is focused on communication events and does not deal at all with entertainment industries, which are instead the subject of the 12-credit version of the course, open to ACME M.Sc. and selected international students only. For people attending the 6-credit version of the course, the course starts in Mid-February and continues, at the rhythm of 4 sessions per week, for 24 sessions (48 hours). The field project presentation is scheduled immediately after the spring break.

Course Objectives
The course is structured in two modules of 6 credits (48 hours) each, which deal with, respectively, events as business communication instruments and entertainment industries. The first module, Communication Events, aims to provide participants with theoretical frameworks and operational logics for the design and management of events, which have been recently achieving an increasing relevance in firms’ communication practices. Management models and conditions of effectiveness are also dealt with. The second module, Entertainment Industries, intends to provide advanced conceptual instruments for the comprehension of entertainment as a guiding principle that permeates today’s consumer culture. Through the analysis of the main show business industries (theme parks, sport, movies) students understand how entertainment is managed and how consumers experience and use entertainment products, services and industries, and how such understanding may help companies from a wide range of industries (beyond entertainment in a strict sense) to create value for the customer.
Besides a limited number of theoretical lectures, the course draw upon sessions supported by case studies, students’ research, and participation by guests speakers.
