Publisher's Synopsis
The main focus of this book is on management, control and accountability in voluntary organisations. The fieldwork presented consists of 40 in-depth interviews undertaken in 10 voluntary organisations exploring aspects of management, control and accountability. Building on the research findings an outline model is formulated identifying the external and organisational characteristics that impact on management, control and accountability in voluntary organisations. It shows that these characteristics can create particular demands for management in the voluntary sector that differ from those encountered in other sectors.
