Strategic Issues for the Not-For-Profit Sector (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780868409344)

Bringing together some of Australia's leading and emerging researchers studying different aspects of the not-for-profit (NFP) sector, Strategic Issues for the Not-for-Profit Sector draws on original Australian and comparative research to provide a spirited exploration of strategic issues facing NFP organizations. A diverse, vital and ever-growing sector in Australia, the NFP sector provides the organizational framework through which many of the most disadvantaged in the community receive access to services and support. However, pressures such as a changing composition, an erosion of financial sustainability, the need to professionalize, and demographic trends affecting patterns of volunteering have put pressure on the NFP sector to innovate and grow in new directions. Strategic Issues for the Not-for-Profit Sector considers the local and global drivers of change, as well as the industry, policy and community imperatives impacting upon NFP sustainability, providing a unique insight into not only the strategic issues, but also strategic responses emerging within the sector.
