Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This e-book is dedicated to performance measurement and performance management within the third sector. Throughout the last twenty years there has been an exponential rise in the body of knowledge through academic journals, practitioner journals and books on performance measurement. What started in the private sector has since been exported into the public sector through new public management (NPM) and the final frontier is the third sector. Performance measurement and performance management is still in its infancy in this sector and if it is to successfully increase its role in public service delivery, then more research is needed in this vital area. This special edition provides an opportunity to disseminate research into this emerging sector from all around the world. The collection of papers includes research from New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Israel and Germany.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global financial crisis and colossal sovereign debt has resulted in the need for radical cuts in public expenditure in many countries. Against this background, the contributions in Third Sector Performance acknowledge that, as a result, more imaginative ways of delivering public services are being sought. In countries like the UK, the new concept of The Big Society envisages third sector, or not-for-profit, or charitable organizations and social enterprises stepping in to mitigate the loss of vital public services. This development also gives rise to the likelihood that third sector financial institutions such as credit unions and a possible 'Big Society Bank' will grow in importance. The performance of all these enterprises looks set to become a much more critical issue than it has been in the past. The editors have gathered in this volume, chapters reflecting the fact that third sector organizations are not the same as conventional businesses and are also subtly different from the public sector. There is currently a dearth of knowledge and a lack of research into issues around performance in the Third Sector or Civil Society. This book begins to fill a void in the knowledge base. The internationally sourced contributions represent a balanced offering of academic research findings and practitioner accounts from the Third Sector, together with a section devoted specifically to third sector finance institutions. This book will appeal, internationally, to policy makers within the third sector or involved in the management of n-f-p and voluntary organisations, as well as to those with responsibility for wider public policy, scholars teaching or researching in this area, and students of business and management preparing for roles in social enterprises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this paper is to identify which categories of general financial and non-financial performance indicators are used by NGOs, in accordance with the value prediction capacity and the ease of obtainment contained in each one of the strategic performance measures. The analysis also covers results referring to the identification of the main characteristics relating to funding, target audience, regional distribution, organizational capacity, communication of results, strategic, financial and people management. For the national sample group of 648 entities registered with the federal government, an inquiry is conducted concerning the existence of contrasts between and among respondents, arising from the levels of qualification of functional and voluntary labor, given the permanent shortage of funds that characterizes the sector. The use and the communication of these qualitative indicators can orient donators in their priorities, and influence the behavior of managers.

This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1.2, University of Manchester (Manchester Business School), course: International Business and Management, language: English, abstract: To this day, a great variety of tools, frameworks and best practices, aiming to measure the social impact of organisations, have been developed and used in practice. This variety reflects the fact that there is no perfect measurement tool and that there are still a lot of challenges to be faced by organisations that want to measure their social impact successfully. The challenges with impact measurement can be categorised into three different areas: Measurement limitations, limitations of an organisation’s resource base and limitations arising from the external environment. The problems presented here will be discussed in more detail in part 2.3 of the literature review. The present dissertation has two objectives. Firstly, it aims at reviewing existing impact measurement tools and frameworks. Secondly, it aims at proposing a new framework that synthesises and extends the existing social impact measurement practices. This study aims to aid third sector organisations to improve their performance measurement, which would contribute to a better resource allocation in the social economy and at the same time support organisational development and the transformation towards sustainable business models. In short, this research is intended to facilitate social change.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few public service organizations have been successful in implementing an effective performance measurement system. Private sector organizations differ in their motivation to measure performance from public sector organizations. Private sector organizations determine success by the amount of profit that is made, while public sector organizations collect taxes and provide services to all. This study examines how a benefits-based management model of service delivery could be effective in measuring performance in the public sector. Public service organizations traditionally measure performance based primarily on efficiency of service, measuring financial targets and numbers served. Government organizations are now being required to report the impact of services. The research concluded that the advantages of performance measurement outweigh the challenges. Quantitative measures are needed to gain and maintain public and political credibility, while qualitative measures are needed to demonstrate the value and the benefits of services. Organizations that adopt performance measurement systems need to be committed to making them meaningful to people at all levels of the organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social sector is undergoing a major transformation. We are witnessing an explosion in efforts to deliver social change, a burgeoning impact investing industry, and an unprecedented intergenerational transfer of wealth. Yet we live in a world of rapidly rising inequality, where social sector services are unable to keep up with societal need, and governments are stretched beyond their means. Alnoor Ebrahim addresses one of the fundamental dilemmas facing leaders as they navigate this uncertain terrain: performance measurement. How can they track performance towards worthy goals such as reducing poverty, improving public health, or advancing human rights? What results can they reasonably measure and legitimately take credit for? This book tackles three core challenges of performance faced by social enterprises and nonprofit organizations alike: what to measure, what kinds of performance systems to build, and how to align multiple demands for accountability. It lays out four different types of strategies for managers to consider—niche, integrated, emergent, and ecosystem—and details the types of performance measurement and accountability systems best suited to each. Finally, this book examines the roles of funders such as impact investors, philanthropic foundations, and international aid agencies, laying out how they can best enable meaningful performance measurement.
