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

This is the first book of its kind to bring together the microeconomic insights on the functioning of non-profit organizations, complementing the wide range of books on the management of non-profit organizations by instead focusing on both theoretical and empirical work.

Jegers begins by considering definitions of non-profit organizations before examining the economic rationale behind their existence, the demand for them and its implications on their functioning. The final chapters look at the economic idiosyncrasies of the non-profit organizations, focusing on the fields of strategic management, marketing, accounting and finance.

Marc Jegers is Professor of Managerial Economics at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Universiteit Antwerpen in Belgium.
