This is the fifth edition of a book bringing together the microeconomic insights on functioning of non-profit organisations, complementing the wide range of books on the management of non-profit organisations by focusing on both theoretical and empirical work.
Firstly, definitions of non-profit organisations are considered, after which the economic rationale behind their existence is examined, followed by a study of the demand for them and its implications for their functioning.The final chapters look at the economic idiosyncrasies of non-profit organisations’ management, focusing on the fields of strategic management, marketing, accounting and finance.
This book will be perfect for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates engaged in the study of non-profit organisations and managerial economics.
