Managing Sustainable Non-profit Network Organizations

چکیده
Government services have been privatised in Australia and many other countries, yet the transition from government ‘hierarchy’ to service delivery by non-government providers has proven to be challenging. Organizations have to deliver the same services, but they struggle to find ways to improve their performance while still conforming to government regulations. In this paper we draw upon a case study conducted within one such organization, which consists of collaborating but autonomous organizations networked together. We propose that five dualities are central to understanding the challenges to effective management of non-profit network organizations. We explain these dualities and then examine some strategies that address these difficulties and may lead to improvement of the performance of non-profit networks.
