Böcker av Gail Dexter Lord

The Manual of Strategic Planning for Cultural Organizations adopts a revolutionary approach to the world of museums and cultural institutions. By encompassing a broad group of cultural organizations, this whole-career oriented book responds to the 21st-century reality that boundaries are being blurred among institutional types.

In Cities, Museums and Soft Power, museum planners Gail Lord and Ngaire Blankenberg demonstrate how museums and cities are using their soft power to address some of the most important issues of our time. Soft power is the exercise of influence through attraction, persuasion, and agenda setting rather than military or economic coercion.

The Manual of Museum Management presents a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the principles of museum organization, the ways in which people work together to accomplish museum objectives, and the ways in which museums, large and small, can function most effectively.
