Most of the sociological research on arts managers relies on the assumption that the roles and functions in the artistic universe can be precisely separated and that the arts manager‘s role is limited to financing, and that an arts manager uses one orientation only.

Kudos for the right answer and explanation
As I read through the first sentence, I got the sense that most research follows the perception that the arts manager's role is limited to financing and that arts manager uses one orientation only. The second sentence suggests that Bordieu only partially agrees with that research and the word "However" suggests there is a shift, so if the research shows the manager role is limited, then Bordieu must feel the certain orientations are "essential".
Notice, there's a "But", so Bordieu views now should be somewhat negative, and the hint for the second blank is in the words "..as an intrusion of an economic disposition into the arts", which means Bordieu sees the act as "infiltration".
The third blank has to be negative, so only "exploitation" fits.
