Popis: | 99 Arts University plays multiple roles that render it an educational institution, social education organization, and platform for artistic exhibitions and performances as well. Closely connected with university, arts university museums are expected to correspond to their organizational functions, namely assisting in teaching and research, facilitating international exchanges among foreign organizations. While university museum’s operating expenses comes from the university, facing limited funding and lack of staff constantly make it imperative for university museum to maximize and expand its resources in order to make both ends meet. The building project of the Art Museum of National Taiwan University of Arts (NTUA) was initiated in 2004, and the museum was established on March 24th, 2008. It has achieved some success in combining various resources and developing its characteristics. This study investigates the Art Museum of NTUA in the aspect of resource utilization through exploring the concept of resource integration, and attempts to formulate strategies from the perspectives of Resource-Based Theory. Analysis covers the period starting from 2008, ending on April 2011, focusing on three categories: human resources, material resources and financial resources, which the museum utilizes while acting as an integration platform, attempting to propel its development and perform its functions. The study suggests that resources are integrated in a way that resembles a concentric circle: the Art Museum resides in the core, surrounded by the university campus as the second level, and at the peripheral, the society as the third level. Resources are integrated from the core to the peripheral. With regard to the three categories of resources, the study indicates that, firstly, human resources contains professional knowledge and practices of museum staff, supports from the university administrative system, faculties and students, and the networking with experts and professional organizations. Secondly, material resources includes exhibition space management, collection system regulations, and research and publication. Lastly, financial resources on one hand, involves fixed budgets distributed by the university, project management between departments, which can be viewed as school projects in general; On the other hand, it includes government and corporate funding, and individual donation, which are considered subsidies from outside the university. |
