- W2611621734 abstract "This thesis presents a model of the characteristics of an effective nonprofit organisation and a practical tool to evaluate the extent to which nonprofit organisations comply with these characteristics. As part of identifying the characteristics of effective nonprofit organisations, it was necessary to establish whether or not nonprofit organisations and businesses were distinct from one another, since this would determine whether research on the characteristics of effective businesses could be applied to nonprofit organisations. An exploration of the key similarities and defining differences between nonprofit organisations and businesses subsequently revealed a number of startling and unexpected insights. The first was that the traditional stereotypes of “nonprofit organisation” and “business” are steadily losing their meaning and are no longer able to describe the important differences between organisations, especially not the nature of the value they create. The second insight was that a new paradigm of organisations is emerging, from the perspective of which organisations are understood as being value-creating entities, and are classified and judged according to both the economic and social value they seek to and actually do create in the world. The implications of this paradigm for nonprofit organisations is that they should only consider themselves effective to the extent that they can provide convincing evidence of having achieved their formally stated outcomes, and that effective organisations should be identified accordingly. These insights clearly meant that research on the characteristics of effective businesses could be applied to nonprofit organisations, and allowed for a model of the characteristics of effective nonprofit organisations to be designed which drew heavily on the insights of three well-known quality models. This model formed the basis for a practical and qualitative organisational evaluation tool to be designed, which when field-tested in alignment with rigorous qualitative research standards, was judged to provide valuable information on the extent to which organisations comply with the characteristics of effective nonprofit organisations. The underlying message of this thesis is that it is time for nonprofit organisations that seek to become more effective and increase their positive impact on society, to abandon their outdated stereotype and adopt the paradigm revealed in this thesis." @default.
