Global financial crisis and colossal sovereign debt has resulted in
the need for radical cuts in public expenditure in many countries.
Against this background, the contributions in Third Sector
Performance acknowledge that, as a result, more imaginative ways of
delivering public services are being sought. In countries like the
UK, the new concept of The Big Society envisages third sector, or
not-for-profit, or charitable organizations and social enterprises
stepping in to mitigate the loss of vital public services. This
development also gives rise to the likelihood that third sector
financial institutions such as credit unions and a possible 'Big
Society Bank' will grow in importance. The performance of all these
enterprises looks set to become a much more critical issue than it
has been in the past. The editors have gathered in this volume,
chapters reflecting the fact that third sector organizations are
not the same as conventional businesses and are also subtly
different from the public sector. There is currently a dearth of
knowledge and a lack of research into issues around performance in
the Third Sector or Civil Society. This book begins to fill a void
in the knowledge base. The internationally sourced contributions
represent a balanced offering of academic research findings and
practitioner accounts from the Third Sector, together with a
section devoted specifically to third sector finance institutions.
This book will appeal, internationally, to policy makers within the
third sector or involved in the management of n-f-p and voluntary
organisations, as well as to those with responsibility for wider
public policy, scholars teaching or researching in this area, and
students of business and management preparing for roles in social
enterprises.
