Abstract
Goal of the chapter: During the last 20 to 25 years nonprofits have become more and more professionalized. This trend is in line with nonprofits being challenged by a market environment that leads to basic management changes. This chapter follows up on the questions: What is the impact of the market environment on the professionalization of nonprofits? How does this trend affect governance, strategy and accountability? In this chapter the reader
-
learns about the characteristics of the trend towards professionalization in civil societies,
-
the effect of this trend on management
-
and the emerging phenomenon of the ‘fund value’.
