It relies heavily on its functional cousins - Sales, Marketing, Finance and Corporate Strategy. Each functional area will be explored within the various sectors of the entertainment industry through class discussions, assignments and a final project. In this class, we will focus on business development in media and entertainment. The class will examine how entertainment executives leverage product development, sales and marketing opportunities to facilitate growth. We will discuss how to effectively be an entrepreneur while navigating relationships inside and outside the corporation. Students will explore the development of business models, alternative monetization strategies, and develop a POV on investment/funding as well as mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
