Important basics for all arts managers
William Byrnes' book is obviously one of only a few books touching all aspects of arts management today. Readers will learn how arts organizations and arts management evolved, the theories and processes behind strategic planning and decision-making, and how to integrate various management theories with practical applications to this type of organization. Of course, not all of Byrnes' examples lets copy into other cultural markets, but there are a lot of general basics for arts managers and administrators worldwide. We can really advise to buy this publication.

Text book
A good book to get a general survey of issues in the arts management field. As an overview, it necessarily glosses over details in areas such as the history of arts management, economics/accounting, daily operation strategies. Great for presenting theory-great for examples of how other arts organizations have implemented theory. Slightly geared towards performing arts organizations but quite useful to all arts managers.
