Summary Excerpt Details

Inside the organization there are three different identities that can be identified. The first consists of managers who lead the organization and cooperate heavily with the Ministry of Culture in Denmark, a so called “utilitarian identity” (Glynn, 2000). Their claims lie on the financial aspects as well as fulfilling all requirements the government is setting. The second includes “traditional” artists, a “normative identity” (Glynn, 2000), who strongly believes in the old traditions of playing as a symphony orchestra. Their claims are idealistic and music-driven. The third identity is also normative, but comprises “modern” artists, who are of the opinion that classical music can be performed in several valuable ways. These three identities collaborate effectively and efficiently with one another; however, there is the potential of conflicts to arise as their perceived identities differ from one another.
