A Study on the Vitalization of Music Halls of Tokyo-An Application of Extended Soft Systems Methodology

There are about 3000 music halls in Japan. Management conditions of those music halls are not good enough. In order to improve these management conditions, for example, the designated supervisor system as a management system has been adapted to the operations of several music halls in Tokyo metropolitan in 2005; for example, ‘Tokyo Bunka Kaikan’ and ‘Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space’. The purpose of this paper is to propose a basic model to vitalize music halls from the viewpoint of the organizational knowledge creation theory[6] by applying the extended soft systems methodology[8].
