The musical market has achieved the industrial development from 2000 and it takes half of the performance art market in Korea. Therefore, the necessity of efficient management ability and research on musical has been increased. The scope of research on musical has been enlarged in order to obtain the industrial development of musical through the mutual relationships between know-how accumulated at the stage and theoretical achievement. Also, the number of musical which are performed has been greatly increased. Since the art management at the musical sector is an activity to carry out all the activities related to the musical rationally, actively and creatively on the concept of management, it is required not only the external or environmental changes, but also the efforts of people who are related to the musical sector such as the scholars, researchers, instructors and students, etc.
Therefore, this study is to recognize the necessity of academical study on art management of the musical sector which is being developed as an industry and analyze the theses of master`s and doctorate degrees based on the method of bibliometrics. The purpose of such efforts is to evaluate the total trend of musical sector and estimate the current research status and prospect of the art management of musical sector. I will examine closely the changes and relationships between each subjects of the art management and suggest the direction for future studies at the point of view of art management for the development of musical industry.
For the analysis, the KrKwic(Park Han Woo·Leydesdorff, 2003) program which is changed the Full Text developed by Leydesdorff (1995) for the analysis of Korean is used. Based on the classification of similarity of words deducted from the result of analysis and theoretical study, the classification standard table was created. As a standards, the analysis were performed based on the classification of categories by the work ability of art manager, cultural art field and management functions (production management, marketing, human resources management, and financial management)
As a result of the analysis, the theses on musical has been increased year by year and study scope and application fields have become various. In case of the study on the musical work, the Korean musical, 'Last Empress', was studied most frequently followed by other licensed musical.
Also, in the respect of relationships between musical and other cultural art sectors, the music, make-up and stage costume have the close relationships with musical and study on dance and play have been carried out actively. However, considering that musical is a total art, the study related to painting and design have been carried out relatively less.
As a result of analyzing the current status of study based on the 'competency required for the art managers' which was implemented by a non-profit institution of USA, 'marketing' was used most frequently and had the closest relationships with musicals. It was also researched that the financial management and governmental support were recognized importantly as they ranked 7 and 11 respectively. However, the studies on such subjects were almost none.
Last but not least, at the point of view of management of musical sector, the analysis were implemented by the category of production management, marketing, human resources management and financial management. According to the analysis results, following suggests were made.
First of all, for the performance planning phase, it is required to carry out a study on the system that is related to evaluation, settlement and data organization in order to increase the completion.
Secondly, there have been not that many studies on audience survey system which is the crux of information management for audience development. Although there are many theses on marketing strategies, the studies on statistical system or computer programming are insufficient. It is required to focus more on such subject.
Thirdly, there are not that many studies on price strategy and financial management function. Due to increased number of musical plays, it is hard to figure out the exact market size. However, it is required to improve the investment environment for the sustainable development of musical industry. Therefore, with this, systematic researches are also required.
This study examined the fields that are less focused comparing with its practical necessity at the managerial point of view and suggested a new direction for the required studies for the efficient system of musical plays.
However, there were some limits as follows; there was no clear classification between compound nouns and other nouns and because of such problems same words might be classified as differently, the subject words for analysis were the title of theses under the assumption that the title words represent the entire contents, there was no clear category between the title of performance and practice of performance, and lacks of defining the relationships between detailed elements of management, etc.
Since the subject of this study was art terminologies, it is not easy to construct the classification structures and there are some limitation in that the art management is on the way of settling to be an academical subject. However, the fact that the overall study trend and flow were examined for the development of art management as an academical subject is of great significance. I hope that the art management will be developed as a more systematic academical subject through the systematic studies on managerial methods of musical sector in the future.
