Title: Festival & Event Typology: Understanding Events Management through its Nature, Role and Purpose
Description: A 11,115 Word, Masters Research Report on festival and event typology. Also suitable for BA or BSc level. This report identifies and briefly discusses the critical classification systems, which comprise the decision making, which enable events and festivals to be possible. The classification systems are typically known as typologies in the industry and structure the event/ festival planning and execution life-cycle. This report is centered on a generic event/ festival life-cycle. Discussion is split up into three parts, the nature, role and purpose of these typologies. The report features illustrations and figures of the critical typologies and examples of how they are used. A good grounding for the end user to expand upon and develop their own understanding.

Aims:


To introduce the reader to some of the key typologies found in events and festivals
and their nature;



Offer thoughts on their role and how they apply to events and festivals to make them
happen; and



Offer examples of their purpose and how they formulate cultural policy and provide
context
...
Quotations are included
where relevant
...
The classification systems are typically known as typologies in the
industry and structure the event/ festival planning and execution lifecycle

The Nature of Festival and Event Typologies
Festival and event typologies are simple, sometimes complex classification systems and
mapping methodologies which enable event managers and applicable staff to navigate
through the event/ festival lifecycle theoretically and practically
...

Typologies allow organisers to quantify and qualify by measuring relationships through cause
and effect, the actions and reactions of people, places and objects; in order to create
compelling phenomena (R6)
...

Typologies applicable to events and festivals invite their organisers to research, which in
order to stay in competition is an evolving practice like an artist’s continuum
...
Research also invites participation and many types of questions must be answered
...
This typology is known as
research management
...
You will see these key research aspects at the top of figure
one
...
This dimension provides
specific examples of tools which can quantify and qualify decisions and performance through
research at each stage of the lifecycle
...
Timeline applies
to the typology called time management and the types of questions addressed in the lifecycle
as part of research management must provide answers to take appropriate action
...
This is because events in their very nature vary depending on a number of
factors: relationships, resources, competences, circumstances and constraints
...


Dimension Management Typology: In the event lifecycle, there are a number of different
event dimensions
...
The event dimensions are:


Corporate External Analysis



Design



Corporate Internal Analysis



Logistics



Position Team Member



Health, Safety and Risk



Financial Plan



Legacy Building and Human
Resource Relations

Assessment


Marketing



Sustainable/ Historical and Green
Initiative

Dimension management can only be productive in addressing event factors through
effective research and time management
...
Phase
management can only be formulated through effective awareness and positioning of
event dimensions and vice versa by asking the right questions

The Role of Festival and Event Typologies
The role of festival and event typologies is to solidify theoretical ideas, making them
practical and usable
...
The desire is coherence and effective
communication of paradigms (complex ideas)
...
Successful fulfilment of typological roles produces compelling experiences
...

Event Dimensions:
Corporate External Analysis:
Role: I understand the role of corporate external analysis in events and festivals
management as an intrinsic aspect of its research management foundation
...
The idea has a
spectrum of dimensions or sectors of the ideas (products) lifecycle, which are later
developed internally to achieve the corporate goal of successfully creating an event
...


Purpose: According to Kotler and Keller in Marketing Management 12thed, “a major
purpose of environmental scanning is to discern new opportunities
...

According to OnStrategy (R3), a web business strategy service, “The external analysis
examines opportunities and threats that exist in the environment
...
The way to differentiate between a strength or
weakness is to ask: Would this issue exist if the company did not exist? If the answer is
yes, it should be considered external to the firm…”

Word Count 11,115

“Opportunities are situations that exist but must be acted on if the business is to benefit
from them
...

See Typology Figures: SWOT Analysis (F2), Gartner Magic Quadrants (F3), Gartner
Hype Cycle (F4),
Corporate Internal Analysis:
Role: I understand the role of corporate internal analysis in events and festivals
management as an intrinsic aspect of its time management hierarchy
...
The competences of the company are spread throughout its departments to
manage the dimensions of the event planning lifecycle: strategically sequencing resources
throughout its phases
...

Purpose: According to Kotler and Keller in Marketing Management 12thed, “it is one
thing to find attractive opportunities and another to take advantage of them
...
The big question is whether
the business should limit itself to those opportunities where it possesses the required
strengths or whether it should consider opportunities that mean it might have to acquire
or develop certain strengths”
...
This stage of the
process is called goal formation
...

See Typology Figures: SWOT Analysis (F2), Product Life cycle (F5), Mckinseys 7s
Cultures (F6), Return on Objectives
...
Its primary role is to manage the
budgeting, purchasing of materials, sponsorship, payment of contracts, pricing of event/
festival commodities (tickets & merchandise) and evaluating economic impact from
events the company produces in collaboration with the company’s various departments
...
Its function is key for options such as the return on
investments for its stakeholders and sponsors, social return on investments for future
business with local authorities and funding duty of care to the environment through
legacy regeneration projects
...
Its role in providing capacity
affects the time management hierarchy by augmenting decision making with liberal and
attractive contracts: where money buys time
...

Purpose: According to Osmond Vitez from Demand Media in the article titled “What Are
Financial Management Objectives?’ Accessed on 13/11/14, “Financial management is
the responsibility of planning, directing, organizing and controlling a company’s capital
resources
...
Most of the
objectives serve in a support capacity to provide business owners with relevant
information on the company’s business operations
...

Continued:
“One objective of financial management is to provide business owners and other
individuals with information for making business decisions
...

Risk management ensures companies do not face undue pressure or risk from various
financial situations
...
Financial management has a responsibility to improve
operational controls and workflow” (R4)
...


Legacy Building and Human Relations:
Role: I understand the role of legacy building and human relations in events and festivals
management as an intrinsic aspect of the research management hierarchy
...
Legacy is addressed by answering critical questions through the event
planning lifecycle (typically who, what, when, where, how and why)
...
Externally, it
involves acute attention to outward facing dimensions to create and manage operations
and relationships such as Design, Logistics, Health, Safety and Risk Assessment,
Marketing, Sustainable/ Historical and Green Initiatives
...


Purpose: The main purposes of this typology is to provide: clear goals, a results-driven
structure, provide the pretext and context for competent team members, unify festival
commitments, an internal collaborative climate, standards of excellence, external support,
recognition and effective leadership
...
Its purpose is providing balance
throughout the phases and dimensions of the event/ festival lifecycle
...


Design (Physical and Experiential):
Role: I understand the role of design in events and festivals management as an intrinsic
aspect of the combined hierarchies of research and dimensional management hierarchy
...
Consumer experience is addressed by answering critical questions
through the event planning lifecycle (typically who, what, when, where, how and why)
...
Interaction and co-creation technology are embedded into materials with strategic
placement, personalities and synchronisation; synthesising 5-sense stimuli
...

Purpose: The main purpose of this typology is to manage the experiential expectations of
event consumers, providing an ephemeral and inimitable product, which is immersive,
educational and transformative
...

Its purpose considers and develops the social return on investments for future business
and efforts to increase its network roster of potential artistic and creative vendors/ traders
for future projects
...
It is at the core of the complete product offering
...


Logistics:
Role: I understand the role of Logistics in events and festivals management as an intrinsic
aspect of the time management hierarchy
...
Logistics in more detail considers appropriate
sites for the safe set-up, construction and operation of entertainment, essential utilities,
security, customer service delivery, clean-up, load-out and access control facilities
...

Purpose: The purpose of logistics is to address the event factors: Relationships,
Resources, Competences, Circumstances and Constraints
...

Logistics also provides insight into new opportunities for other event dimension
operations such as the best and cheapest ways to move itinerary around, saving the
company time and money
...

...


Health, Safety and Risk Assessment:
Role: I understand the role of health, safety and risk assessment in events and festivals
management as an intrinsic aspect of the research management hierarchy
...
Policies are put
into the work place such as the safety passport during construction, use and handling of
utilities/ chemicals of essential services (COSHH) and during public operations (licensing
safety group)
...

Word Count 11,115

Areas not typically thought of as implementing HSR are design financial risk, protection
against bad press and schedule risk
...

Purpose: The purpose of health, safety and risk assessment is to evaluate, plan and
decisively deploy a framework which avoids/ removes any threats that could arise at
every phase of the event lifecycle and protect the company behind it
...

...
Griffin Indicators and Tools for Sustainable Event Management (F52)
...
The role of marketing is to
manage the consumer’s expectations of the perceived product or event before it is
available or accessible to the public
...
Event
organisers don’t just market to event consumers, they also provide material targeted
towards potential sponsors
...
Tools used include official websites, ticketing portals, viral TV narratives,
radio jingles and creative partnerships with other companies to generating revenue with
an air of exclusivity
...
Identifying and meeting human and social
needs

The
role of SHGI in events is to work with the health, safety and risk assessment and legacy
dimensions to consider ways in which operations and consumer habits/ behaviour can
reduce its impact on the environment, existing buildings (sometimes infrastructure) and
communities by adopting practical methods which will manage temporary or long-term
change
...

Purpose: According to the Commission on Sustainable Development and the World
Tourism Organization in Event Management and Sustainability, Edited by Razaq Raj and
James Muzgrave, CABI International, 2009:
“Sustainable events management should:

Word Count 11,115

-

Provide realistic and long-term economic event development and production,
ensuring that socio-economic benefits are distributed fairly to all stakeholders;

-

Provide continuous employment opportunities, entrepreneurial opportunities and
distribution of event income within host communities, thereby contributing to the
reduction of socio-economic disparity;

-

Consider the use of environmental resources that assist in event development and
production, complying with essential management processes and conservation
techniques to help safeguard natural heritage and the biodiversity of the
surrounding community;

-

Develop and produce events in conjunction with the host communities, protecting
their socio-cultural authenticity, built landmarks, traditions and cultural values
by promoting intercultural understanding and tolerance

Interaction Tables

Objects past and present

for leisure

social reality is a
social production
Interaction between
individuals
produces own
definitions of
situations

for events

leisure activity in
most cases, is
produced for us

Social reality for events
only exists when we
produce the event

leisure is
intrinsically free and
open to spontaneity
and interpretation

events can be construed
by individuals for their
own purpose

Humans interact

Ditto

Interaction is
symbolic through
manipulation of
things

leisure activities
carry symbolic
meanings that we
interpret in different
ways

ditto
events require symbolic
characteristics to enable
use to derive our
meaning from them these must be created
though

Meanings are
derived through
interaction and can
be reinterpreted

leisure is interactive
and the activities we
undertake often
develop via our
interactions

events can be redefined
via interactions of people
for example, Glastonbury
from sub cultural hippie
to popular culture

provisions

homemade food/
potatoes roasted

free - spontaneous
attendance but also
very specific
immediate area

penny for guy
activity

ownership - it belonged
to an identifiable group/
local area parental or

official wood/
collection/
donation

bonfire - roped off

no parental
involvement

pyrotechnic display - adhoc letting off of fire
works illegal; especially
if fire held in public park

fee for admission non-spontaneous
and have to be
brought in advance

no guy activity

or event
...


McCarthy and Jinnet (2001), in a study of arts organizations in the US, found three ways in which participation can be increased:
Diversifying participation: involves attracting event attendees who would not normally attend a cultural event
...

Broadening participation: involves attracting more people to an event, from a pool of likely cultural event attendees
...
Marketing messages that emphasize
price and convenience are also appropriate for this strategy
...
This can be accomplished through educational
and special event programming, encouraging your existing audience to invest more in the organization and to become increasingly loyal
towards it
...

Changing the environment, mood and/ or tone of a venue
or event
Developing new customer service strategies

Title: Festival & Event Typology: Understanding Events Management through its Nature, Role and Purpose
Description: A 11,115 Word, Masters Research Report on festival and event typology. Also suitable for BA or BSc level. This report identifies and briefly discusses the critical classification systems, which comprise the decision making, which enable events and festivals to be possible. The classification systems are typically known as typologies in the industry and structure the event/ festival planning and execution life-cycle. This report is centered on a generic event/ festival life-cycle. Discussion is split up into three parts, the nature, role and purpose of these typologies. The report features illustrations and figures of the critical typologies and examples of how they are used. A good grounding for the end user to expand upon and develop their own understanding.
