Managerial Economics of Non-Profit Organizations (Routledge Studies in the Management of Voluntary and Non-Profit Organizations)

Managerial economics is that branch of economics meant to understand what happens in firms and organisations. Traditionally, this field is confined to business firms, hence the alternative name "theory of the firm". This book takes a managerial economics approach to examine non-profit organizations. The main aim of the book is to provide an overview of the microeconomic theoretical and empirical research on the functioning of the non-profit organisation, as an analogon of the traditional 'theory of the firm' which is applied to profit oriented organisations. This is the first book which collects and integrates at a research level current managerial economic insights on NPOs.Marc Jegers is the author of 'Managerial Economics of Non-Profit Organizations (Routledge Studies in the Management of Voluntary and Non-Profit Organizations)', published 2008 under ISBN 9780415433822 and ISBN 0415433827.
