In health care, education, culture, and religion, we trust not-for-profit firms to serve the interests of their donors, customers, employees, and society at large. We know that such firms don't try to maximize profits, but what do they maximize? This book attempts to answer that question, assembling leading experts on the economics of the not-for-profit sector to examine the problems of the health care industry, art museums, universities, and even the medieval church. Contributors look at a number of different aspects of not-for-profit operations, from the problems of fundraising, endowments, and governance to specific issues like hospital advertising. The picture that emerges is complex and surprising. In some cases, not-for-profit firms appear to work extremely well: competition for workers, customers, and donors leads not-for-profit organizations to function as efficiently as any for-profit firm. In other contexts, large endowments and weak governance allow elite workers to maximize their own interests, rather than those of their donors, customers, or society at large. Taken together, these papers greatly advance our knowledge of the dynamics and operations of not-for-profit organizations, revealing the under-explored systems of pressures and challenges that shape their governance. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aNonprofit organizations$xManagement$vCongresses 606 $aNonprofit organizations 610 $anonprofit, charity, business, fundraising, management, organization, governance, endowments, advertising, marketing, healthcare, museum, university, religion, church, competition, efficiency, workforce, labor, hospital, ownership, capital, hmo, compensation structures, industry, firm behavior, medieval, history, nonfiction, success. 615 0$aNonprofit organizations$xManagement 615 0$aNonprofit organizations. 676 $a658/.048 701 $aGlaeser$b Edward L$g(Edward Ludwig),$f1967-$0324152 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824170203321 996 $aGovernance of not-for-profit organizations$9749556 997 $aUNINA
