A DEA approach for selecting a bundle of tickets for performing arts events

Most performing arts organizations offer their customers the choice of either buying event tickets individually or buying a bundle of tickets for two or more events. During the selection of the bundle to be offered, the theatre manager faces several possible combinations of events. In this paper we tackle the issue of identifying the most efficient subset of the events scheduled to offer as a bundle. We formulate this problem following the choice-based network Revenue Management approach. Assuming the price as fixed on two types of events, lowbrow and highbrow, proposed by the theatre, the purchase decision is modelled on the basis of two random variables: the available time and the reservation price per perfomance. The super-efficiency DEA model will be implemented in order to find the most efficient combination of events to be bundled, defined as the one that offers the most favourable trade-off between expected revenue, attendance, and capacity consumption. A regression of the DEA scores on managerial variables and bundle attributes will allow us to obtain some insights into what determines the efficiency level of a bundle.     

Cracks in the Creative City: The Contradictions of Community Arts Practice

The recent flurry of research about arts‐led regeneration initiatives illuminates how contemporary arts festivals can become complicit in the production of urban inequality. But researchers rarely engage with detailed empirical examples that shed light on the contradictory role that artists sometimes play within these spectacularized events. Similar research in performance studies connects the political limits and potential of social practice arts — interventions that encourage artists and non‐artists to co‐produce work — as civic boosters strive to stage cities in order to attract investment. In this article, I explore the case study of Streetscape: Living Space at Regent Park, a participatory artistic intervention programmed in a public housing neighbourhood that is undergoing redevelopment in Toronto, Canada. Streetscape was part of the Luminato festival, an elite booster coalition‐led festival of ‘creativity’. I refer to these arts interventions to demonstrate how artists engaging in social practice arts can become complicit in naturalizing colonial gentrification processes at multiple scales. But I also reveal how artists can leverage heterogeneous arts‐led regeneration strategies to make space for ‘radical social praxis’ (Kwon, 2004), interventions that challenge hegemonic regimes. I conclude by interrogating the effectiveness of place‐based efforts in unsettling the ‘creative city’.

Empirical Evidence of Marketing Practices in the Nonprofit Sector: The Case of Performing Arts

ABSTRACT

Arts organisations are adopting marketing practices as international literature suggests. However, there is an important lack of studies proving this. So, the overall goal of this article is to examine how performing arts institutions apply marketing principles in their management process. Specifically, we propose to group these organisations according to their implication with marketing practices. An empirical research design using univariate and multivariate techniques was drawn. The results showed that performing arts organisations are adopting marketing tools but with different levels of implication. So, the three groups found were labelled neutral, involved and image conscious due to the apathy, slight interest and image development show respectively towards marketing.     

美国在阿富汗的“国家建设”缘何失败

阿富汗是美国在“全球反恐战争”背景下实施“国家建设”的主要对象。基于考察小布什政府和奥巴马政府的相关政策及其实施情况,可以认为美国在阿富汗展开的“国家建设”缺乏切实可行的目标和连贯明确的战略,很多政策相互矛盾,资源投入严重不足,在政策执行和机构协调等方面问题重重。美国在阿富汗的安全重建受到“反恐”和“反叛乱”军事行动的主导,削弱了阿富汗社会和普通民众的安全感,重建援助的“军事化”问题突出。在政治重建方面,美国不顾北方联盟和部分国家的反对,在阿富汗推行总统制,这一选择与阿富汗政治传统和文化不相适应。美国绕开阿富汗中央政府进行援助导致出现“平行政府”,破坏了中央政府权威。在经济重建方面出现“双重寄生体制”,对农业和乡村地区的发展支持严重不足,难以有效应对毒品经济问题。美国提出的“新丝绸之路”计划高估了中亚国家与阿富汗的一体性,也缺乏促进地区经济发展的资源投入。根本而言,美国在阿富汗的“国家建设”缺乏道义基础,难以获得阿富汗民众的支持,与阿富汗政府倡导的“阿人所有、阿人主导”的和解进程存在诸多冲突,彰显了美国权力的傲慢及其“自由主义霸权”战略的深刻困境。
