The roles and functions of non-profit organizations have been transforming in the last few decades; massive change is occurring in the non-profit sector and its organizations. Their position have progressively shifted, their traditional philanthropic and associational roles are being supplemented by other functions, missions and goals. Non-profit organizations are increasingly becoming competitors and collaborators with private firms and government agencies; they also represent important economic forces. The role of non-profit institutions in the modern world is certainly considerable and worthy of study. This book is focused on those above mentioned issues: non-profit organizations behaviour and the way particular theories and definitions reflect the non-profit phenomenon. The basic and favoured theories are being examined and confronted with real manners of the non-profit subjects. The attention is being paid especially to the basic concepts of the non-profit economics. The analysis of the particular theories and concepts serves as a base for the recommendations for the public policies towards the non-profit sector.

These challenges, however, are posing enormous risks to the historic character and role of nonprofits.Operating in an increasingly competitive environment in which traditional sources of government and phila

This book offers a model for managing nonprofit organizations and illustrates it with several case studies. The strategy-structure- systems approach to managing a business enterprise is modified to include a purpose-process-people centered approach that is more relevant for nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit organizations need this modified approach because there are some fundamental differences between business and nonprofit organizations that are explained in the book. As the demand for essential social services is growing and the government budgets to provide such services are shrinking, there is a greater need for social enterprises to be managed more effectively and efficiently. Using case studies and theories of management, we offer a model that is relevant for anyone managing social enterprises.
