Dear Sir or Madam, We would like to ask you to complete a questionnaire that is part of a research project focused on the legal forms and effectiveness of cultural organizations. The target group of respondents consists of managers and senior staff of cultural organizations. The aim of the research is to identify what challenges, problems, and benefits different legal forms of cultural organizations bring, and how these factors affect their behavior, financial stability, and management practices. The research is conducted by Palacký University Olomouc. The results will help improve our understanding of how cultural organizations function and may contribute to the search for more effective management strategies, funding models, and legislative support in culture. Completing the questionnaire will take approximately 15 minutes. Your responses will be completely anonymous and will be used exclusively for research purposes. The research is coordinated by Tereza Raabová: tereza.raabova@gmail.com. Based on the research, the following outputs will be created: a) a publicly available research report on the effectiveness of cultural organization management for their managers and founders, and b) a clear handbook outlining the advantages and disadvantages of individual legal forms of cultural organizations.
You can complete the questionnaire here.
