Museum as service organization in Report of museum education condition. Supplement. Part 1, Chapter: Museum as service organization, Publisher: Universitas, 2014, Editor: Marcin Szeląg

In this paper I will explore a concept of museum as the service organization. Conducting service activity is often badly associated, seen as something mediocre (in Polish perspective). However, service perspective won't rob the museum from traditionally meanings, but it will enrich them giving new explanation fields and broaden the museum meaning. Museum offer is enough unique, that only it, as the service provider is able to enrich the viewer in a unique aesthetic and spiritual values. The way to perform an ancillary role towards the society is undoubtedly providing by museums the public services. The role of public service provider is harmonized with the educational function. There is a need to change the paradigm, in order to notice not only human, but also service dimension of these cultural institutions function.

Searching for the Managerial Implications in Italian Autonomous Museum. What Are the Perspectives and Barriers?

3rd International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology Tourism Economics Management and Agriculture, 2019

The Italian public museums have been involved by a Reformation that has changed their status from non-autonomous museums to autonomous museums (Decree 171/2014 by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Tourism). This change has had significant implications for the Italian museums, introducing new managerial practices that has an impact on the system museum overall. Usually, public museums are supported by public funds. The autonomy could be a first step in overcoming critical issues that could be found in museums, aimed at supporting strategic and decision-making objectives and evaluating performance. Often, the literature has revealed that the lack of managerial cultural is due to barriers (ideological, technical and, organizational) that do not permit the development of managerial practices. Through a documental analysis, it has been investigated the main management innovations and its accounting implications. Consequently, the degree of compliance of the museums with del legislator's request has been analysed.

Constraints Faced by the Museum Functionaries to Control Museum Environment

2014

An attempt has been made to find out the constraints faced by the museum functionaries in control of museum environment. Museum environment plays an important role to maximize the life of textiles and other artifacts conserved in the museum. The chief cause for decay in textiles is almost always the environment in which they are displayed and stored. Apart from the environment, various constraints namely technological, economical, psychological and social constraints are encountered by the museum functionaries which creates bottlenecks for growth of museums. After personal interview of the museum functionaries, it was found that there were number of constraints which retard the growth of museums. It was necessary to assess the intensity of these constraints encountered which were responsible for the condition of the museums and possible remedial suggestions have been given for planners as well as for museum functionaries for smooth running of museums. * Research Scholar, College of ...
