Tuckman's Four Factors Of Non-Profit Business

297 Words2 Pages

Tuckman (1998) believes that four factors lead non-profit businesses to a successful move toward commercialisation: the need for additional revenue thanks to the commercial activity, the compatibility between the organization’s mission and the commercial activity as the organization should offer suitable products for sale in the market and lastly consumers should be willing to buy those products. If not, Tuckman argues that sustained for-profit activity will not result. Indeed, the absence of a product or service made social enterprise activity practically impossible to establish. So, there is the need to identify a market to serve. Besides, social impact is the reason for being of social enterprises; however, profit can occur, but it can’t

  • Voluntary Spirit Model

    1022 Words  | 5 Pages

    To begin with, the economic model has a management style that mirrors that of market-driven businesses, aligning goals and objectives with business principles such as supply and demand (Brainard & Siplon, 2004). On the other hand, the voluntary spirit model relies on a management style that is intentionally different from product and services businesses (2004). In other words, the voluntary spirit model insists that nonprofit missions are not business-like, but instead, are centered on solving problems and nurturing relationships (2004). Next, the organizational structure for the economic model has a relatively strict hierarchy where decisions are driven from the leadership, but the voluntary spirit model’s structure relies on collaboration among members to collectively determine goals and objectives (2004). Lastly, since the economic model is business-like, the incentives for staff appeal to self-serving needs, which means the incentives are often materialistic or monetary (2004).

  • Nonprofit Business Analysis

    No longer satisfied to depend on limited perceptions of aid, or to view businesses as their adversaries, nonprofits have finally discovered methods to work within the economy and support companies to do good deeds as they prosper. Until recently, nonprofits had been paradoxically viewed within our economic sectors of society. Traditionally, these organizations are expected to make an extraordinary impact on their social purpose yet, they are frowned upon when they choose to amplify their shoestring budget to fulfill this charge. It is a “double bottom line,” this requirement for nonprofits to balance between monetary return and social impact (Worth, 2013, p.7). Nonprofits can effectively utilize the strategies discussed by “Making Markets Work” to bring awareness and financial stability to its social purpose.

  • The Pros And Cons Of For-Profit And Nonprofit Healthcare Organizations

    529 Words  | 3 Pages

    Organizations that operate for-profit healthcare argue that they offer patients more options and flexibility. On the other hand, nonprofits claim to provide a superior patient experience and are more cost-effective. In keeping with their charitable mission and community focus, nonprofit hospitals are often affiliated with a particular religious denomination. For-profit hospitals are either owned by investors or shareholders of a publicly-traded company. For-profit healthcare entities are more likely to prioritize treatments that generate higher profits, such as open-heart surgeries.

    In systems, such as the one in place in America, health care is often driven by more the want of money and profit then helping other people. This system on paper could seem to be heartless and selfish, but in reality a health care system driven by profit is more humane than any other. This may seem odd, being the main focus of health no longer on the well being of the person but instead their money, although despite the original issues with it it is now the best choice. Good doctors love to help people, but you will be hard pressed to find a doctor who works for free.

    Thus, instead of focus on short-term profit maximizing or costs saving, firms should be stakeholder-oriented. A firm which is stakeholder-oriented focuses on the need of their stakeholder such as employees, customers, society and others who have a direct economic link to the firm (Habil, n.d.). Businesses that are socially responsible will avoid actions that may cause detrimental to stakeholders. They have greater concern on stakeholder well –being. A firm that decided to ignore the social issues may results in a loss of strategic opportunities ('Shareholder value or social responsiblity?', 2007).
