Managerial Roles and Entrepreneurship in Nonprofit Urban Arts Agencies in Virginia

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine how arts administrators in virginia manage under conditions of retrenchment and fiscal constraint. The data analysis separated managers into four role groups according to their perceived degree of creativity and documented access to organizational resources. Managerial role types were compared with management behaviors to discern significant differences. The data suggest that arts agencies must select managers with a combination of entrepreneurial and administrative skills.

Using creativity to achieve an entrepreneurial future for arts marketing

“…The term 'creativity' may be used synonymously with 'innovation' and 'entrepreneurship' (Kanter, 1983;Rossheim, 1993;Department of Communication and the Arts, 1994;Landry, 1994;Rommano and Ratnatunga, 1994;Radbourne, 1997;Carton et al, 1998).

Leaders' Attitudes and Computer Use in Religious Congregations

“…In religious congregations, there are often at least two leaders, and because one is usually clergy and the other administrative (either the board or an administrator) they may have different attitudes in this regard.

The picture grows more complicated if the clergy is pressured by administration (as in the board) to use computers; this reverses the simpler hierarchical management structure common in for-profit organizations.…”

É evidente que a associação não pode ser desvinculada das próprias mudanças ocorridas no setor, como sejam, por exemplo, o aumento da concorrência e a redução de doações por parte do governo e de doadores privados (Smith, 2010(Smith, , 2014.…”

“…(Bilodeau e Slivinski, 1996, 1998Glaser e Shleifer, 2001;Chapelle, 2010; Huarng e Hui-Kuang, 2011; Hustinx e De Waele, 2015). É um conceito, porém que ainda não está bem definido e claro na literatura, ainda busca por uma definição (Martin e Osberg, 2007;Dacin et al, 2010;Abu-Saifan, 2012), pode ter significados diferentes para as pessoas (Dees, 1998) (Rossheim et al, 1995;Bilodeau e Slivinski, 1996, 1998 O empreendedorismo social é associado ao hibridismo, por unir a missão social e de negócio (Doherty et al, 2014). É também investigado no contexto da temática empreendedorismo em organizações sem fins lucrativos.…”
