A study of human resource training and development trends in the six emerging industries in Taiwan reports that jobs in the field of marketing have increased in the cultural and creative industries. It is predicted that its growth rate will be up to 45% within 3-5 years. Thus, not only production but also marketing has to be strengthened in the cultural and creative industry of crafts; the practitioners in this industry need to enhance their marketing competencies for doing more and better. The two purposes of this study are (1) To identify the marketing competencies through fuzzy Delphi technique; and (2) To examine the importance of competency for the university/college departments related to the cultural and creative industry and availabilities of current courses related to marketing in the departments to develop students those competencies through an importance-performance analysis (IPA). Based on 12 practitioner representatives’ opinions, two categories and 22 marketing competencies were identified. Then, according to the opinions from 11 university/college department chairs in the field of cultural and creative industry, an IPA of current courses related to marketing was completed. It is concluded that the identified competencies can serve as the basis for related education and training, career development and employee selection. It is also concluded that the current marketing courses tend to develop student’s general marketing competency, and fail to develop in students the marketing competencies specific in the field of cultural and creative industry of crafts. Therefore, further efforts should be made to enhance in students the following four competencies: (1) to analyze market acceptance of products, (2) to establish partnership with core customers, (3) to respond to customers' opinions quickly, and (4) to offer product trends and feedback to demand. |
