The newly completed new building to house the exhibits and staff
of the City Central Museum is located adjacent to the campus of a
private university. The new building was funded by a group of local
donors. The university has provided the land and will cover annual
operating expenses on the understanding that the museum will
provide a resource for students' education. The new board of
directors will consist of major donors as well as selected
university administrators and faculty. The Board of Directors'
Planning Committee appointed two business students to conduct
interviews with various stakeholders about the future direction of
the museum in its new relationship with the university. These
interviews were conducted in person, and the interviewees seemed
uniformly interested and eager to help. The main questions relate
to the mission and future goals of the Museum. Below are some
excerpts from the interviews. A major donor: I think a museum
should be a major community resource. My wife and I provided money
for the new building in the hope that the museum would encourage
visits from public schools in the area, catering especially to
inner-city children who do not have access to art galleries. We
don't want the museum to sound arrogant or elitist. The focus must
certainly be local.
These were face-to-face interviews, and all of
the interviewers seemed genuinely engaged and willing to assist.
The principal concerns include the Museum's mission and long-term
objectives. The following are some highlights from the
interviews.
A significant donor: I believe the museum
should be a significant societal resource. My wife and I
contributed funds to the new museum in the hopes that it would
stimulate visits from local public schools, particularly those
serving inner-city students who do not have access to art
galleries. We don't want to give the impression that the museum is
pompous or exclusive. The emphasis must unquestionably be on the
local.
Rector: The most important thing is to have
exciting contemporary exhibitions that will interest both
university students and community adults while providing new
perspectives and conversation on current events. We can attract
visitors to the museum by hosting an exhibition of Islamic art,
fine art, etc. This strategy would entail bringing in traveling
exhibitions from large museums, which would save us money on
administrative and overhead costs associated with producing our own
exhibits.
The university's Department of Art and Architecture
Program is led by: The most important problem is that the
museum will lack the creative and financial resources to serve the
entire community. We have a fantastic potential to connect the
Museum with its academic faculty and turn it into a learning
center. It can be a valuable resource for art education and art
history undergraduate and graduate students. Students in
engineering, architecture, and liberal arts can also benefit from
our services. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance that will set our
Department of Art History apart from others across the country.
In the Department of Art History, there is a faculty
member named: Focusing on training doctorate students in
art history and promoting scholarly research is the best use of the
museum's relationship with the university. I highly urge the Museum
to concentrate on higher education, as this will raise the
university's national profile. Postgraduate students will be
involved in the creation of displays that are relevant to their
studies. We would be wasting our limited resources if we tried to
make the museum popular on campus or in the neighborhood. Art
history departments across the country will be looking for our PhD
grads.
The reason you got this information from interviews is because
you have been invited to an interview for the position of Museum
Director. The previous director retired on the understanding that a
new director would be appointed upon completion of fundraising and
construction of the new building. You think about what you would do
if you took the job.
Please answer the following questions
A. What is your personal preference for the
Central City Museum? As a manager,
do you try to carry out your favorite
missions? (6points)
B. How do you seek to resolve
the fundamental conflict between
the key stakeholders over the
purpose and direction of the museum's
existence?(7points)
C. What actions do you take to carry out
your determined mission? Be specific ( 6
