Förlagets beskrivning
This volume addresses the need to revisit the economic theories from the
last two decades that have contributed to the development of a concentrated
research agenda on nonprofit organizations. Long neglected as a topic of
theorizing and empirical investigation by mainstream economics in particular,
these initial theories of nonprofit organizations from the late 1970s and early
1980s continue to shape theoretical and conceptual efforts. Importantly, their influence extends beyond economics and informs
sociological and politics science approaches to the set of organizations and
institutions located between the market firm and the state agency as well.
While the theoretical map of nonprofit research has expanded beyond these early
attempts and now include several other major theories such as stakeholder
approaches, supply-side or entrepreneurial theories, institutional theories and
comparative approaches. This work suggests that it is time to take stock and reexamine some of the
basics from which these economic theories operate. This work will be essential
to those in the nonprofit sector, organizational management and economics,
political scientists and other researchers working with the nonprofit and
voluntary sector. Nonprofit research has expanded to include stakeholder approaches,
supply-side or entrepreneurial theories, institutional theories and comparative
approaches. This volume suggests that it is time to re-examine some of the
basics from which these theories operate.
