Non-profit Governance (inbunden, eng)

Non-profit Governance offers twelve perspectives and analytical frameworks to facilitate the development of governance in non-profit organisations. In this sector, governance is all the more important because it is often voluntary. Organisations therefore need to be supported in their management, accountability and strategy.

International standards (in particular ISO 37000:2021, dedicated to the governance of organisations) propose key principles to ensure value creation around stakeholder engagement, leadership, risk governance, social responsibility and organisational sustainability. This book proposes to explore and adapt these principles to the non-profit sector.

To do this, the book focuses on four facets of governance: the controls it puts in place, the stakeholders it must listen to and manage, the performance it must monitor and, finally, the people it must lead and mobilise. The book also highlights the interest of governance mechanisms and processes in developing effective performance, ethics in non-profit organisations, and responsible management.

Each chapter therefore takes one or more of the principles of ISO 37000 in the non-profit context and builds an analytical framework around them. These twelve frameworks can thus be used by the organisations themselves to develop their governance practices, but also by researchers who will find original approaches to incorporate into their studies.
