Abstract Open systems theory, or seeing an organization as an open and networked structure that is part of and affected by external environments, can offer a new organizational structure model for arts and cultural organizations that can lead to enhanced performance both in financial and non-financial areas. This conceptual article offers propositions of open systems theory applied to arts and cultural organizations, specifically in organizational structure and performance effectiveness. These new insights open up an alternative paradigm toward how internal aspects of organizations not only affect internal measures of performance, but ultimately affect external measures of how an organization serves its mission and community.

艺术和文化组织的开放系统理论：结构与绩效的联系

摘要开放系统理论或将组织视为外部环境的一部分并受其影响的开放和网络结构可以为艺术和文化组织提供一种新的组织结构模型，从而可以提高财务和非财务组织的绩效地区。这篇概念文章提供了适用于艺术和文化组织的开放系统理论的命题，尤其是在组织结构和绩效有效性方面。这些新见解为组织内部方面如何不仅影响内部绩效指标，而且最终影响组织如何实现其使命和社区的外部指标开辟了另一种范式。
