摘要:This paper examines the concept of cooperation as it applies to the music industry, more
specifically, between a music director and his musicians. The reason justifying this study is that
the relationship between a music director and his musicians is a microscopic view of what a
relationship is between an employer (a manager) and his employees on a day to day basis (as the
musicians usually meet once a week or so). While there has been plenty of studies on leadership
in particular, there has been very few attempts at narrowing down the scope of analysis to help
researchers better understand what links employers (especially managers) and employees in
terms of cooperative efforts. The orchestra setting offers such an opportunity to look at this
specific, unique relationship. This article identifies four key manifestations of cooperation and
proposes that they could well express themselves in settings others than the director-musicians
context, in particular in manager-staff contexts.
