INDIVIDUAL ASSIGMENT COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT MANAGEMENT COURSE DATE FOR SUBMISSION: WEDNESDAY, 24th NOVEMBER, 2021 CASE STUDY: YOUR TURN: SO YOU WANT TO LEAD AN ORCHESTRA! Peter Drucker calls orchestras an example of an organization design that will become increasingly popular in the 21st century, in that they employ skilled and talented people, joined together as chestras are autocratic. The conductor dictates what is played and how it is played. Rather than basking in the glow of orchestral teamwork, jokes like the following are common among orchestra members: Q. Why so many people take an instant dislike to the viola? A. It saves time. Job descriptions for orchestras look simple: Play the music. (Q. How is lightning like a keyboardist fingers? A. Neither strikes the same place twice). Violins play violin parts; trumpets play trumpet parts. Yet one study reported that jo satisfaction doe orchestra members ranks below that of prison guards. However, orchestra members were more satisfied than operating room nurses and hockey players. Exhibit 1 shows the pay structure for a regional chamber orchestra (Q. How can you make clarinet sound like a French horn? A. Play all the wrong notes.) The pay covers six full orchestra concerts, one Caroling by Candlelight event, three Sunday Chamber Series concerts, several Arts in Education elementary school concerts, two engagements for a flute quartet, and one Ring in the Holidays brass event as well as the regularly scheduled rehearsals. (Q, How can you tell when a trombonist is playing out of tune? A. When the slide is moving.) The figures do not include the 27- cents-per-mile travel pay provided to out-of-town musicians.
