RE: Cultural Sector: Give people what they want, even if it is terrible
I'd be curious to see how you'd re-write or edit current mission statements (like the one of the Philadelphia Orchestra) to "give the consumer what the consumer wants" and better position institutional survival.
Come to think of it, in the spirit of giving people what they want, over the years the Orchestra has occasionally been accused of including too many popular, familiar (and shallow) musical pieces in their concerts at the expense of the esoteric and experimental.
