Louise Murray, Vice President of Tour Preparation and Partnerships at Cirque du Soleil, has been told that the firm has received two unsolicited venture suggestions to present a show in Istanbul, Turkey. Both offers are serious and the jobs are potentially interesting. Louise Murray must now choose the suitability of this destination and examine the proposals themselves. Pick the best one and she also has to assess the different scenarios for inserting this destination in Cirque's planning horizon.
The selection of work and the kind of partnership arrangement to be negotiated with the prospective promoter must also be decided. The case therefore encourages a more comprehensive reflection on the fragile balance between flexibility and standardization in the context of an organization that still has a powerful circus culture. As such, the case is the opportunity to propose developments and to reflect on the organization of the planning procedure.
