However, the service quality is not stable or cannot be improved in a short time often, because of the venues change, full-time administrator¡¦s shortage and high turnover, or the temporary manpower. In order to overcome these problems, it is necessary to have a working manual and management.
This study will built up ¡§Standard Operating Procedures¡¨ based on the theories of knowledge management and customer service. An operation manual of front of the house will be accomplished to offer performing arts groups as the most suitable tool; and hope it can improve the quality of works, reduce the factors of variability, and satisfy the audiences¡¦ demands.

According to their ¡§management modes¡¨ and ¡§situation handling approaches,¡¨ the front of the house management can divided into four different styles: ¡§positive-type,¡¨¡§conservative-type,¡¨ ¡§cautious-type,¡¨ and ¡§flexible-type.¡¨ These four styles can be the basic models for other groups to follow.
