以商學院的角度,台灣的現場表演團體一直有叫座的瓶頸。面臨政府補助預算的縮減、民間捐款的不穩定,自給自足成為現場表演團體達成組織目標的重要議題。太陽劇團是全球現場表演的第一把交椅,其發展路徑及經營模式值得借鏡。太陽劇團成立5年,平均每年觀眾人次為27萬人;成立6年後開始獲利;成立8年後不再需要任何補助或捐助。成立至今24年,累計總觀賞人次為8千萬人,單2007年觀眾人次達1千萬人。目前全球共有18場節目同時上演,表演者共計1千名、幕後支援者共計3千名。2007年營收為美金7億元。雖然太陽劇團的表演類型為綜合型娛樂,結合體育(操)、馬戲雜耍、特技、小丑表演、歌唱、舞蹈等等,然而,從20名街頭藝人的組織,成長至目前的跨國際娛樂組織,太陽劇團的案例是現場表演團體的希望。 本論文採個案研究法,以太陽劇團之發展歷程,配合經營模式(business model)分析、藍海策略(Blue Ocean Strategy),以及平台策略(platform strategy)等分析方式,將太陽劇團之發展做成一概化之結果,並與台灣備受關注的現場表演團體雲門舞集做比較,瞭解台灣現場表演團體的叫座瓶頸。 霹靂國際多媒體則為現場表演的特殊案例。雲林虎尾黃氏家族,將布袋戲轉為媒體經營,目前已傳至第四代,自始至終自給自足,並跨足衛星電視頻道經營、電影、舞台劇等領域,其經營模式亦為代表性個案。
From business’s point of view, the live performance organizations in Taiwan have the bottleneck to meet satisfying box office and to make profit self-sustainingly. Facing the shortening subsidy policy and the unstable donation, Taiwan’s live performance organizations need to find ways to self sustain. Taking Cirque du Soleil as an example, it was found in 1984; made profit in 1990; didn’t need any subsidy or donation in 1992. There have been totally 80 million audiences since 1984 and 10 million audiences in 2007 only. The annual revenue reached 70 million in 2007. From 20 street performers to 1,000 professional performaners, Cirque du Soleil becomes a global entertainment company. The path of Cirque’s growth and development is worthy to study. This thesis adopts the case study research. Cirque’s strategic moves are analyzed by the theories of business model, Blue Ocean Strategy and platform strategy chronologically. The generalized results would be made into a checklist. Cloud Gate’s strategic moves are also analyzed and made into checklist in order to compare with that of Cirque and to find out the causes which prevent Taiwan’s live performance organizations from self-sustain. Pili International Multimedia is a distinctive case in Taiwan’s live performances. The Huang’s, the owner, makes the puppet drama as media dependent entertainment. Their business includes satellite TV channel management, puppet play on stage and on big screen with their own’s reserves. The business model of Huang’s Pili is also a representative case.
