As marketers, we know when looking at the 4 Ps of marketing (product, place, price and promotion) that by far product is the most impactful on box office revenue. In an attempt to adapt to the worsening economic environment, some theaters began to program “safer” seasons and increased ticket prices to drive more revenue. Many adopted models looked far more similar to Broadway than the regional theater just a few years prior.

The last two decades of 20th century and the first decade of 21st century witnessed a remarkable quickening and expansion of efforts to reform Croatian schools. It is almost certain in schools well into the 21st century. The term school reform often means very different things to different people because they use various theories in trying to understand and explain issues such as education, schools as organizations, and human behavior. The school reform generally connotes planned efforts by those external to the school to cause changes, or restructuring, to occur within the school (Empirical rational strategies; Power-coercive strategies; Organizational self-renewal strategies).
