About Kaohsiung Music Center (KMC)
In 2009, the Executive Yuan recognized the need for a “Kaohsiung Music Center.” The Ministry of Culture commissioned the Kaohsiung City Government for its planning, design and construction. “Kaohsiung Music Center”is operated as a new form of ad-ministrative institution. The KMC is a landmark for pop music performances in Southern Taiwan that nurtures domestic pop music talents and supports networking within the industry. In addition to music performances, the KMC architecture is integrated into the surrounding harbor scenery to create a new tourist attraction.
New type of business model
Establishment of the administrative institution
The Kaohsiung Music Center must be managed professionally; its operation should fol-low market trends and flexibility., The KMC exercises a low level of governmental power yet shoulders the responsibility of public missions. The KMC’s public affairs originally fall under the responsibility of governmental agencies, but its authority is generally considered unsuitable for further government undertaking. On the other hand, considering the public services attached to of KMC operations, it is also not suitable to adopt a corporate structure. Therefore, we consider administrative institution to be the best option for KMC operation.
The core spirit of administrative institutions operation
- Increase the private sector’s professional participation and reduce public authority intervention
- Differentiation systems customized by professional premises
- Exempt from centralized control of the administrative authority
- Exempt from civil service examination results and national unified employment criteria restrictions on personnel policy
Characteristics of administrative institutions

- Administrative institution ≠ De-publicization ≠ Self-liquidating
