1. Media and Creative Industries and Entrepreneurship, 15.30 – 17.00
Amanda Marahimin
National income from art, media and creative industries is really significant in different countries like USA, Japan, India, or Korea. In Indonesia, this sector is still underdeveloped. One of the reasons of this condition is the low number of entrepreneurs in this sectors, partly because business people still have low understanding about these sectors, and partly because creative people still have low business skills and entrepreneurship. This course provides insights to early year communication students on the process of turning ideas into successful start up business proposal, commercializing ideas derived from media research and data, and most importantly, the importance of entrepreneurship in media and communication sectors.
