The Nile on eBay   Research Handbook on Nonprofit Governance by Gemma Donnelly-Cox, Michael Meyer, Filip Wijkström

This multi-perspective Research Handbook provides a clear pathway through the nonprofit governance research field, pushing beyond the borders of current theory to expand and deepen the analytical framework for nonprofit governance. It offers an analysis of the basics including definitions, organizational forms and levels of governance, and takes a critical approach towards the normative and prescriptive tendencies in much of contemporary governance scholarship.Divided into four distinctly thematic parts, contributors provide an in-depth review of the last 20 years, building on the foundations of classical contributions and further exploring new theoretical approaches, while examining the governance challenges of diverse types of organizations, including those from both developed and developing countries. Future challenges including multilevel governance are expertly addressed, and insights leading towards a unified theory are proposed.This thoroughly engaging Research Handbook will be an excellent resource for scholars in business and strategic management, nonprofit management and civil society, interested in topics such as nonprofit governance practice and boards of directors, governance theory, stakeholder management, membership organizations, foundations and hybrid organizations. Teachers of nonprofit management will also find this invaluable as it addresses both the core concepts and the most recent developments.

Review

'The Research Handbook examines nonprofit governance at multiple levels from the organisational to the societal, using a wide variety of theoretical perspectives. It contains chapters by many of the leading researchers in the field. It is stimulating and thought provoking. A must read for anyone interested in nonprofit governance.' -- Chris Cornforth, The Open University, UK'This book is poised to make significant contributions to future research on nonprofit governance as well as governance more broadly. Its chapters insist that readers understand nonprofit governance within contextualized settings and explore evolving conceptions of "nonprofit" entities, sectors, governing functions, processes, and structures. While research has already expanded beyond the governing board, this volume crackles with opportunities for researchers to investigate nonprofit governance at multiple levels of analysis from numerous theoretical and disciplinary perspectives. Importantly, contributors reflect an international diversity of outlooks that enrich knowledge and invite further interrogation.' -- Melissa Stone, Professor Emerita, University of Minnesota, US'This state of the art volume offers a variety of illuminating approaches to the fundamental problem of governance, providing fresh frameworks to questions of voice and control. Dennis Young's stellar concluding essay is, by itself, worth the price of admission!' -- Walter W. Powell, Stanford University, US
