Criterion 1: Answer the Question. Demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the issues in the case that relate to the question. One way to do this is to think of yourself as a consultant who has been hired to address the issues in the case. How would you explain the issues and marketing solutions to your client? What alternatives would you propose? What solutions would you suggest?

What are the pain points of such concert-going experiences? Who are the non-customers of traditional concerts?
- Some critics and hard-core classical music lovers don’t see Andre Rieu’s music as authentic classical music. In your opinion, what genre of music does his fit into? In what way did he change and reconstruct the classical music industry?
- What is the key logic underlying Andre Rieu’s business success?
