Also, the number of musicians should be more under the control of the producers, who presumably had a better idea of how many employees could be afforded by a particular show, as opposed to the Musician's Union, which would only have one narrow interested party in mind, namely the musician's collective welfare.

Who owns the final product -- the artist or the person funding the art? Neither can make art 'happen' without the other, yet both parties view art in very different terms. Creating value for both parties requires that the commercial theater on Broadway continue in a state of financial health -- a view that seems to favor the producer's point-of-view. The musicians had a point that, if the quality of music slowly declined on Broadway, this would have a long-term deleterious effect upon the quality of attendance in the long run. Using taped music rather than live musicians, a crucial element of the debate, would do away with one of the reasons people go to live theater in the first place.
But while theater is ultimately a commercial enterprise, a negotiator, in creating a final settlement that is equitable to both sides, must keep in mind both sides' artistic and financial concerns for control over the final product.

Organizational Culture, National Culture, And Negotiating Across Cultures Culture refers to a collection of qualities which do not belong to individuals but a society consisting of individuals; these collected qualities are a unique and intricate blend of attributes which extend to a wide arena of social interactions, religious rites, celebratory procedures, rituals and other aspects of collective life (Garcha).
