Abstract

Local organizations have become key mechanisms in effective, fair, and sustainable resource management and development in India. This book adds empirical evidence to the debate on whether or not these functions are performed as expected. Based on research in three sectors in three states in India, the authors' findings indicate that the design of and support for local organizations are often little more than rudimentary, resulting in less than adequate performance and raising serious sustainability concerns. Two debates dominate discourse on the roles of organizations. The first is a practical

Abstract

Attraverso il bilancio sociale si misurano e si valutano i risultati conseguiti da un ente non profit sotto il profilo economico-sociale. Alla luce di questa osservazione è stato avviato il progetto "BILANCIO SOCIALE DEGLI ENTI NON PROFIT", che vede coinvolti Regione Toscana, Province di Firenze e Pistoia, Cesvot, associazione Le Reti di Kilim e Dipartimento di Scienze Aziendali dell'Università degli Studi di Firenze. Il percorso di ricerca, finalizzato all'individuazione di un modello di riferimento per il processo di rendicontazione sociale delle organizzazioni del terzo settore, dopo una signifi - cativa fase di ricerca teorica che ha dato luogo al quaderno PISR n. 2, Alcune considerazioni in tema di bilancio sociale del maggio 2002, ha reso evidente l'opportunità di procedere ad una concretizzazione di quanto elaborato. In altre parole, si è trattato di applicare le conclusioni teoriche precedenti ad alcuni enti "pilota" e di raccontare questa esperienza. Nello specifico, vengono riportati alcuni bilanci sociali alla cui realizzazione hanno partecipato gli autori del presente quaderno. Per ciascuno di questi è stata elaborata una griglia riassuntiva e di commento, con la finalità di facilitarne una lettura comparata. Social accounting is a way of measuring and assessing the economic and social results achieved by a non-profit body. It is in the light of this observation that the project "SOCIAL ACCOUNTING OF THE NON-PROFIT BODIES" has been launched, involving the Tuscan Regional Authority, the Provincial Authorities of Florence and Pistoia, Cesvot, Le Reti di Kilim association and the Department of Business Science of the University of Florence. An important phase of theoretical research resulted in the publication PISR no. 2, "Observations on the issue of social accounting" in May 2002. Following this, the research approach finalised at the identification of a model of reference for the social accounting process of third sector organisations highlighted the need to concretise what had been elaborated. In other words, to apply the previous theoretical conclusions to certain "pilot" bodies and to report on the experience. More specifically, this work reports several processes of social accounting in which the authors have taken part. For each of these a grid of summary and comments has been prepared, with the purpose of facilitating a comparative reading.

Abstract

This concise and illuminating book provides a road map to the evolving conceptual and policy terrain of the nonprofit sector. Drawing on prominent economic, political, and sociological explanations of nonprofit activity, Peter Frumkin focuses on four important functions that have come to define nonprofit organizations. The author clarifies the debate over the underlying rationale for the nonprofit and voluntary sector's privileged position in America by examining how nonprofits deliver needed services, promote civic engagement, express values and faith, and channel entrepreneurial impulses. He also exposes the difficult policy questions that have emerged as the boundaries between the nonprofit, business, and government sectors have blurred. Focusing on nonprofits' growing dependence on public funding, tendency toward political polarization, often idiosyncratic missions, and increasing commercialism, Peter Frumkin argues that the long-term challenges facing nonprofit organizations will only be solved when they achieve greater balance among their four central functions. By probing foundational thinking as well as emergent ideas, the book is an essential guide for nonprofit novitiates and experts alike who want to understand the issues propelling public debate about the future of their sector. By virtue of its breadth and insight, Frumkin's book will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay of public purposes and private values that animate nonprofit organizations.
