Performing Art

Synopsis: Uses the Tate St Ives art gallery in Cornwall, which opened in 1993, as a case study to explore problems of forecasting changing objectives and stakeholder interests. The gallery was wildly successful in its first year, pleasing both its sponsors and local authority partners. But the initial success posed problems for both the gallery managers and the local community. The programme examines what assumptions can be made about the gallery’s future performance and how accurate forecasting can be. It discusses whether the infrastructure of St Ives can cope if visitor numbers hold and whether effective plans can be made to meet the needs of all the stakeholders.

At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
