Inhalt In this course, we will study the peculiarities of the entertainment industry and their implications for marketing and management decisions of firms. The purpose is to provide the students with an overarching framework to systematically analyze different types of entertainment products and markets, and to enable students to make key management (e.g., where and how to compete, which business model to use) and marketing (e.g., how to price, distribute and design entertainment experiences) decisions. This will be a highly interactive course that uses a case-based teaching approach. We will cover a broad range of business cases and types of entertainment products, including sports, movies, games, books, and music. To help students apply their newly gained knowledge about entertainment products, this course integrates lecture sessions with a Business Challenge in collaboration with the company ch.stagend.com. The company offers an online marketplace platform where entertainers and clients can find each other, and enter into transactions with each other. The company wants your inputs on how to deal with some of their current business challenges. Students will work on solutions for these challenges and will compete with each other to win the challenge.
