Positioning the supply of live performances. Innovative managerial practices relating to the interaction of audience, performance and venue

2006

Because of an abundant offer of shows, the question of the cultural products positioning becomes increasingly crucial for the professionals of this sector. This article proposes to answer this strategic question by identifying original ways of differentiation in order to reinforce the identity of their offer. First of all, we insist on the need for analyzing the relation between the public and the spectacle (central road of positioning). We wish to highlight the various facets that structure this positioning. Then, we examine the interaction between the public and the cultural place (peripheral road of positioning). This tangible framework of consumption experiment can offer promising solut…

Positioning strategies of cultural institutions : a renewal of the offer in the face of shifting consumer habits

2008

One conclusion is widely shared by the practitioners in the cultural sector: consumer relations with cultural products and services have changed. This paper provides a trend marketing analysis of various areas (theatres and performing arts organizations, museums, cultural events, cultural industries, etc.) so as to better understand this “new” cultural consumer. Seven contemporary trends are examined. Each is defined and then illustrated by innovative offers from cultural organizations. Their appraisal by more than a hundred cultural-sector practitioners in France is presented.

Réflexion sur le lieu de consommation culturelle. Une application au cas des musiques actuelles

2004

The following study sheds light on the importance of managing a forsaken element of cultural experience : the place. Because of the weakness of the works relating to this element in the cultural domain, we use the works in distribution. Several competing theories are considered to conceptualize the cultural place: the own characteristics of the place, the behaviors and the “responses to the place”. The last track having our preference, an exploratory study will come in support to define the differents dimensions that compose this “response to the place”. Pop music will constitute our field of application.

Le Pouvoir au centre des systèmes relationnels : l'America's Cup 2007 comme cas pratique

2010

National audience; Cet article présente un modèle permettant de comprendre le pouvoir existant dans les relations entre les organisations sportives. Le pouvoir est l'élément central des relations entre les différentes parties prenantes du sport. Ce modèle s'appuiera sur les écrits de Machiavel (1513), Galbraith (1985) et Baechler (1978). Le sport, comme terrain de recherche, se justifie par un développement récent des événementiels sportifs, entraînant des luttes de pouvoir entres les différentes parties prenantes. Le cas particulier de l'America's Cup 2007 devra permettre d'éclairer la conception théorique des différents auteurs. Une analyse sémantique des données, par les logiciels Alcest…

Shortcomings of New Public Management Ideology from the Power Perspective : Exploration of Power Relations in a Finnish Municipal Organization

2018

New public management (NPM) is perceived as a method for restoring the effectiveness of municipal organizations. In Finland, it is the main motivator for the reconstruction of municipal and state-driven public sectors. Our article explores the power relations created through implementing the NPM ideology, and how those power relations are constructed and renegotiated between office-holders and politicians in a Finnish municipal organization. We contribute to the NPM literature through an empirical study by introducing forms of power, including previously neglected concealed power. Typically, the informal rules of NPM, the administrative codex, and municipal politics are considered to deline…

Is Democracy Exportable?

2017

Among many aspects to the question of whether democracy is exportable, this contribution focuses on the role of the people, understood not as a unitary actor but as a heterogeneous set: the citizens. The people matter, in a different way, both in the countries to which democracy might be exported and in the democratic countries in which the question is about promoting democracy elsewhere. The mechanisms or characteristics involved in the discussion include yardstick competition, differences among citizens in the intensity of their preferences, differences among autocracies regarding intrusion into private life, citizens’ assessments of future regime change, and responsiveness of elected inc…

The economic causes of the failure of the "socialist" system

1994

Le but de ce travail est de démontrer pourquoi les pays qui se prétendaient socialistes n'ont pas atteint leurs deux principaux objectifs: justice sociale et démocratie. En ce qui concerne le premier, dans ces pays, l'organisation de la production et la détermination des prix, centralement planifiés, nepermettaient pas toujours de réaliser la production en fonction de l'utilité sociale. Cette façon de déterminer les prix engendre une demande sans offre qui se révèle être, d'une part, une cause de dysfonctionnement du système car le marché ne joue pas alors l'un de ses principaux rôles qui est detransmettre l'information aux responsables de la production, d'autre part, une cause d'insatisfac…

Using Private Social Care Services in Finland : Free or Forced Choices for Older People?

2016

Use of private social care services among older people is increasing in Finland. This study aims to understand why older people choose private care in a comprehensive tax-subsidized social care system and examines whether people choose private service as a free choice or a forced choice as well as what factors contribute toward making these choices. Data for this study (N = 1,436) were gathered in 2010 from people aged 75 and above living independently at home in two Finnish cities: Tampere and Jyväskylä. Data were analyzed with several quantitative tests: chi-squared tests, multinomial regression analysis, and qualitative content analysis (for the open-ended responses from the survey quest…

Prace nad kodyfikacją prawa karnego procesowego w Polsce w latach 1919–1928

2020

In his contribution, the author presents the work on the codification (initially on the Act) of procedural criminal law in Poland in the years 1919–1928. Those works were initially led by the Criminal Department of the Codification Committee, and then by the Criminal Proceedings Section of the Codification Commission. The first period of the work on the criminal procedure law was characterized by some disputes between the members of the Department, i.e. supporters of the classical school (E. Krzymuski) vs. the sociological school (J. Makarewicz), the discussion aiming at defining the relationship of procedural criminal law and substantive criminal law. The work on the draft law was carried …
