Course objectives
The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the principles of management and marketing in multimedia. Special attention is paid to online media. Students will acquire theoretical knowledge and skills useful for working in media and associated organisations in the positions of ordinary employees, and particularly, lower and middle management. The knowledge may then serve as the basis of knowledge for higher management. Among other things, the course will benefit from seminars with guests and professionals. The course familiarises students with the internal organisation of media firms, in particular editorial boards of printed and electronic media, as well as sales and advertising departments. It also includes advertising and public relations agencies. Furthermore, it defines the professions and functions securing the management and operations of media firms. Attention is also paid to economic aspects of operations of public service and commercial printed and electronic media. With the help of creating specific media projects and related discussions, students will gain skills which they may subsequently use in practice.
