The present research was conducted in the form of a multiple-case study of the two cultural institutions in the French and the Brazilian contexts. The Pompidou Center is a State-funded presidential museum project, with the mission to make modern art in all its expressions accessible to the wider public. The Sesc Pompeia is a multidisciplinary center for culture and sports financed by tax-money and managed by the Commerce Federation. The Sesc Pompeia is dedicated to the provision of informal education through the cultivation of the mind and the body. The study examines whether resource- and power-dependence theories can be used to conceptualize the relationship that the Pompidou Center & the Sesc Pompeia have with their financial stakeholders. More specifically it will be discussed to what extent the degree of power-dependence in the relationship influences the management strategy of the institution. The objective is to answer the question: what strategies do the institutions adopt to reduce their power-dependence on their main financial stakeholders? Finally some practical management implications will be drawn from the parallel between the strategies of the two institutions.
