This is reflected in the way many museums have adopted corporate language and analysis in their every day operations. I've been in the field a while and it was once highly unusual for a director to call himself a CEO but now it is commonplace. What happens when we refer to visitors as clients or consumers? Using the language of advertising/corporate culture changes museums and not always for the better.
