Assessment of the Organizational Structure of the Ethnographic Museum Cairo, Egypt.

Abstract

The Ethnographic museum Cairo is the oldest and most significant Ethnographic museums in Egypt and the Arab world. It contains thousands of unique objects and artefacts collected from African countries, historic Cairo, Egyptian cities and villages. But, it has neither a simple organizational structure nor professional staff that can manage its museum activities and services such as collections, technical operation, Human resources, investment, and visitor services management in an effective and efficient way. Hence the researcher tries to assess management of the Ethnographic museum and its current organizational structure in order to set out proposals for the best practices and most effective organizational structures applied in museums around the world to be applied in it through research methodologies based on a theoretical, applied study, SWOT analysis of the Ethnographic museum management, analyzing questionnaires, and interviews with museum experts and professionals around all the world related to organizational structures.
