MUSEUM MANAGAMENT TODAY. VALUE ORIENTATION AND HOLISTIC RESSOURCE MANAGEMENT AS WAYS TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS IN ETHIOPIA [Abstract ID: 0206-04]

Oliver RUMP, Berlin, Germany, Specialist for Museum Management and Political Museology, Consultant for Museums

Museums are increasingly becoming economic units. Although being NGO’s per ICOM / UNESCO definition and being restricted in economic activities by the additional ‚code of ethics‘, many newer, modern, and private museums nonetheless detach from these standards.To meet both their own professional standard and economic demands, a value oriented management will be helpful. Resources therefore need to be focused in their entirety, wich includes finances and human resources, as well as symbolic capital (reputation) and relational capital (cooperation).
