Fur die Unternehmen des "dritten Sektors," wie beispielsweise Non-Profit-Organisationen und Fundraisinggesellschaften, gelten die gleichen Regeln aus Marketing, Vertrieb und Kommunikation wie fur alle anderen Unternehmen auch: Sie mussen ihre Kunden, ihre Spender, uberzeugen und an sich binden. Das Instrumentarium der Marktforschung wird aber meist nur sehr zogerlich eingesetzt.
In diesem Buch fokussieren die Autoren mosaikartig auf ausgewahlte Gebiete und Instrumente der Marktforschung, um so beispielhaft ihre Viefaltigkeit und insbesondere ihre Einsatzgebiete im Non-Profit-Sektor und im Dienstleistungsbereich aufzuzeigen. Mit zahreichen Fallbeispielen, Checklisten, Dos und Don'ts."

What does it mean to be a good leader?" Die Frage nach der Fuhrungspersonlichkeit wird heute neu diskutiert. Ein fundierter Einblick in gegenwartige Leadership-Konzepte bildet den theoretischen Rahmen, innerhalb dessen hier diese Frage mit Blick auf das konkrete Fuhrungshandeln in sozialen Organisationen analysiert werden: Traditionelle Fuhrungsbilder stossen an ihre Grenzen, aktuelle Anforderungen und Organisationsmodelle zwingen, uber Ziele und Governance neu nachzudenken. Auf die Zunahme von Komplexitat wird mit organisationaler Professionalitat reagiert und der Spielraum fur Fuhrung eingeschrankt. Helmut K. Anheier (Universitat Heidelberg), Julia Evetts (University of Nottingham), Howard Gardner (Harvard University), Hans H. Hinterhuber (Universitat Innsbruck), Rolf Wunderer (Universitat St. Gallen) und viele andere verleihen dem Begriff Leadership Kontur."

The economic importance of the non-profit sector is growing rapidly in the USA and Europe. However, the law has not kept abreast with its development. The European Court of Justice has extended certain freedoms of the EC Treaty to non-profit organisations, and more case law is expected to follow in the near future, but the observations, theories, solutions and legal and non-legal rules in this field are manifold. The chances of harmonising the law on a European level are slim. Despite these differences, a common core of international corporate governance problems and regulatory solutions can be seen. This volume of essays brings together a variety of international experts from both corporate governance and governance of non-profit organisations to compare the two areas and explore the lessons that can be learned regarding comparative corporate governance for non-profit organisations.

This book gives an in-depth analysis of the role of faith in the work of Tearfund, a leading evangelical relief and development NGO that works in over 50 countries worldwide. The study traces the changing ways that faith has shaped and influenced Tearfund's work over the organisation's 50-year history. It shows how Tearfund has consciously grappled with the role of faith in its work and has invested considerable time and energy in developing an intentionally faith-based approach t relief and development that in several ways is quite different to the approaches of secular relief and development NGOs. The book charts the different perspectives and possibilities that were not taken and the internal discussions about theology, development practices, and humanitarian standards that took place as Tearfund worked out for itself what it meant to be a faith-based relief and development organisation. There is a growing academic literature about religion and development, as well as increasing interest from development ministries of many Northern governments in understanding the role of religion in development and the specific challenges and benefits involved in working with faith-based organisations. However, there are very few studies of actual faith-based organisations and no book-length detailed studies showing how such an organisation operates in practice and how it integrates its faith into its work. In documenting the story of Tearfund, the book provides important insights into the practice and ethos of faith-based organisations, which will be of interest to other FBOs and to researchers of religion and development.

Originally presented at a Conference on Labor in Nonprofit Industry and Government held at Princeton University, these studies are the first to provide an economic discussion of the public sector labor market. Melvin Reder examines the effect of the absence of the profit motive on employment and wage determination in the public sector. Orley Ashenfelter and Ronald Ehrenberg estimate the elasticities of demand for various types of labor employed by state and local governments. Theoretical ideas about behavior in nonprofit industries are employed by Richard Freeman to study the higher education industry. John Burton and Charles Krider try to predict the incidence of strikes in the public sector, while Donald Frey presents a model of the behavior of school boards in hiring faculty. The magnitude of the extra wage received by unionized public employees is compared by Daniel Hamermesh to that of private unionized workers in the same occupation. Originally published in 1975. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Winner of the Distinguished Book Award from the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion The Emerging Church Movement (ECM) is a creative, entrepreneurial religious movement that strives to achieve social legitimacy and spiritual vitality by actively disassociating from its roots in conservative, evangelical Christianity and "deconstructing" contemporary expressions of Christianity. Emerging Christians see themselves as overturning outdated interpretations of the Bible, transforming hierarchical religious institutions, and re-orienting Christianity to step outside the walls of church buildings toward working among and serving others in the "real world." Drawing on ethnographic observation of emerging congregations, pub churches, neo-monastic communities, conferences, online networks, in-depth interviews, and congregational surveys in the US, UK, and Ireland, Gerardo Marti and Gladys Ganiel provide a comprehensive social-scientific analysis of the development and significance of the ECM. Emerging Christians, they find, are shaping a distinct religious orientation that encourages individualism, deep relationships with others, new ideas about the nature of truth, doubt, and God, and innovations in preaching, worship, Eucharist, and leadership.

Due to the increasing importance of leadership, the study of servant leadership and its relationship with equity is vital for community educators, teacher-leaders, public administrators, and more. It is important to investigate the complex relationship between organizations and leadership structure in an effort to examine the intersection of how we can best improve our organizations and the populations that they serve. Cases on Servant Leadership and Equity uncovers the nuances and challenges of servant leadership experienced by diverse servant leaders. It explores how servant leaders of diverse backgrounds navigate challenges that are unique to the organizations in which they lead. Through a critical lens, servant leadership is unpacked through the eyes of leaders that are filtered by race, class, ethnicity, and gender, as well as geopolitical spaces. Covering topics such as emotional intelligence, rural teachers, and employee engagement, this case book is an indispensable reference for managers, executives, sociologists, government officials, politicians, policymakers, human resource managers, faculty and administrators in K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, community leaders, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

Geleitwort Wirtschaftsverbande vertreten die kollektiven Interessen ihrer Mitglieder gegenuber staatlichen und anderen Institutionen. Sowohl in der wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Diskussion als auch in der Praxis gerat diese den Wirtschaftsverbanden ursprunglich zugedachte Aufgabe immer mehr in den Hintergrund: Durch verstarktes Anbieten - dividueller Leistungen sollen Mitglieder gehalten und gewonnen werden. Begrundet wird dies in der Regel damit, dass Mitglieder hochqualitative Leistungen von ihren Verbanden fordern und ein direkter Nutzenausweis bei individuellen Leistungen b- ser moglich ist als bei kollektiven Leistungen. Vernachlassigt wird bei dieser Vor- hensweise, dass Verbandsmitglieder auch hochqualitative kollektive Leistungen erw- ten. Herr Dr. Thomas Zitzmann setzt mit seiner Arbeit bei diesem aus betriebswirtschaft- cher Sicht weithin unerforschten Problemkreis der Qualitat kollektiver Leistungen von Wirtschaftsverbanden an. Er untersucht die Fragestellung, was unter der Qualitat k- lektiver Leistungen zu verstehen ist und wie diese Qualitat operationalisiert werden kann. Dem Autor gelingt es, eine theoretisch fundierte und zugleich praxisorientierte Vorgehensweise zu konzipieren, die die Fuhrung von Wirtschaftsverbanden unterst- zen kann, eine hohe Qualitat ihrer kollektiven Leistungen zu erreichen. Dabei bedient er sich eines spezifisch fur die Fragestellung entwickelten Qualitatsmodells, das die Qualitatsdimensionen personelle und institutionelle Potentiale, strategische, inf- mationsbasierte und rechtliche Potentiale, Teilprozesse der Leistungserstellung und Leistungsergebnis umfasst. Die getroffenen Handlungsempfehlungen werden mit Daten aus drei umfangreichen empirischen Untersuchungen belegt. Der Verfasser leistet mit seiner Arbeit einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Strukturierung und zum Management der Qualitat kollektiver Leistungen von Wirtschaftsverbanden. Sie beschreitet erfolgreich Neuland in der betriebswirtschaftlichen Verbandsforschung."
