Organizing Logics, Nonprofit Management and Change

Organizing Logics, Nonprofit Management and Change: Rethinking Power, Persuasion and Authority The nonprofit sector is often seen as distinct from other types of organizations, driven by social and cultural goals rather than economic profit. However, recent years have witnessed significant changes, including the professionalization of nonprofits and an increasing overlap with private and public sectors. As a result, there are concerns that nonprofits may be adopting more commercial practices, potentially altering their fundamental purpose. This book offers a unique insider account of organizational change in a professional institute, drawing on a three-year ethnography. The authors analyze the impact of changes on various aspects of organizing, including structure, strategy, pay and reward, governance, and leadership. By examining these transformations through the lens of power, persuasion, and authority, the book provides new insights into the nature of organizational change in nonprofit organizations. The result is a nuanced exploration of the complex dynamics at play in nonprofit management, one that will be valuable to researchers, students, academics, and practitioners seeking to understand and navigate these changes.
