Volunteering nonprofit entrepreneurial services

Article Abstract:

Entrepreneurs are primarily motivated by their desire to consume the public good in their decision to supply nonprofit enterpreneurial services toward organizing public good provision. Their decision can also be attributed to a wide range of other motivations, such as seeking to impose one's views, career concerns and managerial perks. Attitudes towards risk and uncertainty are also central variables in the self-selection of nonprofit businessmen.

Nonprofit organizations and their local affiliates: a study in organizational forms

Article Abstract:

Nonprofit organizations generally prefer to extend franchises to run operations at a local level instead of opening local branches. The franchise system is an effective way of dealing with monitoring problems and it is well suited to organizations with a strong volunteer base and big capital requirements. The best franchising system is one that is characterized by partial autonomy.
