Provocări și perspective în evaluarea performanțelor instituțiilor de spectacole și concerte

Abstract

The terms performance, transparency, sustainability, evaluation, funding, remuneration based on achievements or competences, differentiated funding based on achievements and/or impact produced, added value of the product or impact within the source community, scientific community or
simply within whose activity is carried out, are used more and more often, today, in society. Although the words seem rather specific to the economic field, they are widely used in both the public and non-profit sectors (associations, foundations, NGOs, etc.). The cultural, creative and recreational sector, and implicitly the institutions of shows and concerts, are no exception. Although there are satisfactory definitions of what performance means and how it can be evaluated, the perception is different depending on who/what is analyzed: coordinating and/or funding authority, institution management, specialists in the field of activity, own staff, direct beneficiaries, indirect or possible, community impact and more the like these. A quantitative
analysis of statistical data in the cultural field indicates 5 possible performance indicators relevant for performance and concert institutions
