“…Since the beginning of this decade, the use made and the information diffused by NPOs through their Web sites have been examined from different perspectives. Among other areas of study, the empirical evidence has been centered on the analysis of the Internet as a channel to communicate their messages about their mission and programs (Goatman & Lewis, 2007;Kang & Norton, 2004;Schneider, 2003), community building (Jamieson, 2000), e-commerce (Abuhamdieh & Kendall, 2007;Tuckman, Chatterjee, & Mucha, 2004), volunteer recruitment (Hart, 2002), fundraising (Waters, 2007), or how the models of organization of the NPO are affected by the Internet (Brainard & Siplon, 2004).…”

This article examines the relevance of technology, and particularly the Internet, for the improvement of accountability and transparency in nonprofit organizations. The novelty of our work regarding the previous empirical evidence resides in the fact that we have taken into account the means through which these organizations diffuse voluntary information. In this article, we have proposed a model of information disclosure for the Web sites of Spanish nongovernmental organizations for development (NGODs) that can serve as a guide for improving their informative transparency and their accountability. The empirical evidence obtained reveals that Spanish NGOD Web sites are primarily ornamental and that they should evolve toward an environment more informational and relational that allows the stakeholders to access relevant information ranging from the work being done and the use of the dispersed funds to the form in which the organization is governed. Our results have also confirmed that the disclosure levels are related to the amount of future donations received by the organization.

“…Online transaction strategies have included establishing extensive gift shops online as well as e-ticketing and e-fundraising activities (Byrnes 2009). Thanks to a reduction in the costs of internet access and an increase in the public's trust in internet security, e-commerce has enabled theaters across the USA to carry out this type of activity with great success (Royce 2001, Abuhamdieh et al 2009). For example, the Boston Symphony Orchestra increased online revenues from ticketing and other sales from $320,000 in the fiscal year 1997 to $3.7 million in 2002 and boosted its website traffic from 3000 to 7000 visits per day in the same period (Vence 2003).…”

Web communication can help theaters attract and keep younger audiences

This paper focuses on the use of web communication tools as a policy device to regulate access to theaters. By comparing the profile of what we call 'techsavvy' spectators (i.e. audience using the website of a theater) with the profile of the general audience we examine whether the web can be regarded as an effective tool to address regular spectators or to reinforce the participation of different segments within the audience. The study suggests that the web appears to be the favorite direct marketing tool for informing or retaining 'inexpert drama lovers', namely those who fish in different types of performing arts events (i.e. opera, ballet, and classical concert) or attend different types of theatres. Moreover, internet may combat the aging of the performing arts audience by giving priority to access to those that are more familiar with the new technologies (i.e. younger audience).

Abstract. We examine how small and medium-sized, professional, nonprofit performing arts theatres in the US can improve the strategic use of information technology (IT), as well as other aspects of theatre management for large, commercial theatre productions in the West End of London and on Broadway in New York City. In this article we use the epistemology of the third space developed by Bhabha (1994) and extended by Frenkel (2008). Although both authors were discussing knowledge transfer, we use their conceptualizations to characterize and explore more deeply the transfer process of culture (and thereby useful practices and worthwhile lessons) from small and medium-sized professional, nonprofit theaters to large-scale commercial theatres. We include a discussion of Nonaka's (1991) concept of ba, and how it relates to the third space. We specifically employ the metaphor of the third space developed by Bhabha (1994) to critique and understand the verbal and nonverbal cultural transmissions between small and large theatres. One of our contributions is to use the conceptualization and metaphor of the third space to understand the complex exchanges and relationships between small to medium-sized nonprofit professional theatres and large commercial theatres, and to identify what large commercial productions can learn from nonprofit theatres from these exchanges.
