  The discussion of what makes nonprofits and for-profits different from one another is still relevant. Research has touched upon the role of the non-distribution constraint (Hansmann, 1980), values or preferences of leaders (Weisbrod, 1998a), funding streams (Frumkin and Galaskiewicz, 2004) and legal status (Stark, 2010). There is usually the assumption that the identities of the organizations under study are unambiguous and their forms distinct.

  In this chapter we offer a theory that can explain the similarities and differences in the managerial priorities and tactics of charities and for-profit providers. We do not attribute much importance to legal form but rather focus on conditions in the organizations’ niches. The chapter is divided into three sections. The first reviews research that examines the different outputs and outcomes of charities and for-profits. Second, we review theories and research proffered by the sociology and management literatures to gain perspective on what might explain managerial priorities and tactics. Finally, we use recent advances in niche theory to shed light on why many charities have priorities and tactics similar to for-profits while others remain quite distinct. In the course of this exercise we hope to introduce a framework for studying organizations—both for-profits and charities—that will prove useful for students of macro-organizational behavior.

  To reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in the transportation sector, various incentives for promoting electric vehicle (EV) uptake have been implemented worldwide. However, little attention has been given to how individuals perceive EV-related policy incentives, and a knowledge gap may reduce the effectiveness of these incentives. The aim of this study is to discern how a deep understanding of fiscal incentives can also contribute to greater environmental benefits and how green product-related policy awareness is formed in developing countries. Taking a newly released purchase tax exemption for EVs in China as an example, this study compares consumer preferences over certain attribute levels of vehicles with and without detailed policy information via a randomized group design. A best‒worst scaling profile case experiment is embedded to elicit consumer preferences and detailed information about a newly released vehicle emission standard is also provided to avoid a knowledge gap on this regulation. The result shows that compared to the group without detailed policy information, those with information about tax exemption caps are significantly less attracted to hybrid EVs, larger sized and cheap vehicles. Heterogeneous preferences are observed for the attribute levels. Income level, family size and uncertain are found to be associated with various preference through a latent class logit model. A full understanding of the tax exemption policy with caps may raise the preference for battery EVs among individuals with higher income levels and more confident with their choice, and reduce the preference for large cars among individuals from relatively larger families in particular. Self-reported knowledge about this tax exemption policy and the released vehicle emission standard is also examined before the experiment. The results indicate that the awareness of fiscal policies is greater than the awareness of the emission regulation. Individuals who are less risk averse, have higher household income levels, are from regions with more fluently standard language use, or are male are found to have a deeper understanding of these policy incentives. To enhance individual's greener vehicle related policy awareness and further shape their preference towards sustainable consumption, employing social media to transmit policy information and improving confidence in greener vehicle uptake among target populations through well designed policy incentives, especially in less developed regions might be important for developing countries.

  The authors examine children's access to and caregiver's satisfaction with organizations that provide leisure time activities for children on Saturdays. The authors argue that access and satisfaction are a function of families' financial, cultural, and social capital. Using data on 1,036 households in the Phoenix metropolitan area in 2003–04, the authors found that families' financial and cultural capital affected whether or not children participated in activities organized by organizations, but family ties to the organization directly (e.g., either worked there, volunteered, donated) resulted in caregivers being more satisfied with the services. The authors also found that the benefits of network closure (caregivers knowing the parents of the other children on site) were greater the riskier the activities of the child (e.g., sports or cheerleading). Contrary to the authors' expectations, having family or friends in the area did not affect caregiver's satisfaction with the child's provider.

We summarized and commented on the articles in this issue, which document cases of public and non-profit sector innovation in China and theorize their significance. These cases tell vivid stories about how Chinese organizations innovate and also point out the importance of the role of government in initiating or constraining these innovations. We find, through the review of these studies, that China's public and non-profit sector organization innovation experiences carry some important messages about the unique features of China's public and non-profit organizations that should not be ignored while studying changes in China.

  Social networks often exist among individuals who are boundary spanners in an interorganizational network. These relationships are critical in explaining why interorganizational networks are formed, disintegrate, and succeed or fail. Trust is central in most theories of social network effectiveness, and it should also be true in supply chain networks. This article proposes that supply chain architects consider supply chains that exhibit small world properties. This optimizes trust within the clique, but enables predictions and innovations to “hop” across cliques to other regions in the supply chain. The article concludes by proposing that networks should be studied over time and not as stagnant structures, and highlights a new methodology (SoNIA) for this.

  The paper examined the effects of nonprofit organizations' network ties over time on growth. Donative non-profits, which relied heavily on contributions and volunteers, grew at a faster rate if they had high status, more ties to urban elites, and greater interorganizational network centrality. In contrast, commercial nonprofits, which depended on fees and/or sales and employees, grew at faster rates if they had fewer ties to other nonprofits and local elites. Also, as nonprofits became more dependent on fees and/or sales, they moved to the periphery of the interorganizational resource exchange network. The findings contribute to the social capital literature by suggesting that networks are more beneficial to organizations that depend on donations and gifts than on earned income.

  China's class structure is changing dramatically in the wake of post-1978 market-oriented economic reforms. The creation of a mixed "market-socialist" economy has eroded the institutional bases of a cadre-dominated social hierarchy and created conditions for a new pattern of social stratification. Although conditions remain dynamic, results of a 1998 urban survey that measured strength and diversity of social ties among 400 households in four of China's largest cities documented networks of social exchange among 13 occupation-based classes that identify a class structure distinct from the cadre-dominated social hierarchy of the Mao era. In particular, analysis of visiting during the Lunar New Year celebration suggests an urban society simultaneously divided along two axes: one by economic success in the more privatized economy and one by distinctions in political authority at the workplace. Thus contrary to those who privilege market transactions as the primary engine for creating a new class hierarchy, we conclude that to understand processes of social stratification one needs theories and methods that work simultaneously with multiple dynamics of class differentiation rather than presuming linear hierarchy.

  The central argument of network research is that actors are embedded in networks of interconnected social relationships that offer opportunities for and constraints on behavior. We review research on the antecedents and consequences of networks at the interpersonal, interunit, and interorganizational levels of analysis, evaluate recent theoretical and empirical trends, and give directions for future research, highlighting the importance of investigating cross-level network phenomena.

  More info

  Autonomy from the state has been considered a core feature of American civil society, and understanding the consequences of perceived threats to that autonomy has been a central theme in social and political theory. We engage this theme by examining a specific question: What is the effect of government funding on nonprofit organizations' political activity? Extant theory and research identify some mechanisms by which government funding might reduce nonprofit political activity and other mechanisms by which government funding might enhance such activity. We investigate this relationship with two data sets: a national sample of religious congregations and a longitudinal sample of nonprofit organizations in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Results across these data sets are consistent and compelling: The relationship between government funding and nonprofit political activity is either positive or null; government funding does not suppress nonprofit political activity.

  Although public sector organizations have long been seen as driving the institutionalization of business firms and nonprofit organizations, government agencies themselves have only occasionally been studied as subjects of institutional pressures. This research examines whether public sector organizations, when compared to organizations in the business and nonprofit sectors, are more or less as susceptible to mimetic, normative, and coercive pressures. Using data from the National Organizations Study (Kalleberg, et al., 1996), we discover that governmental organizations are in fact more vulnerable to all three types of institutional forces than other organizations, while the effect of institutional variables on for-profits and nonprofits is more sporadic. The susceptibility of public sector organizations to institutional pressures raises important questions for the field of public administration and has consequences for nonprofits and business firms, which are funded and regulated by government. Institutional Isomorphism and Public Sector Organizations Though it has not penetrated deeply into the public administration literature to date, the new institutionalism in organizational analysis has made significant contributions to our understanding of the dynamics of organizations. It has moved research away from overly rationalistic explanations of organizational behavior toward explanations that recognize that organizations are embedded in larger cultural and political contexts. It has shifted the focus of research from explaining why organizations are so heterogeneous to why organizations are so similar. Over the past decade, as its reach has extended across different topics, institutional theory has focused often on nonprofit organizations, such as art museums (DiMaggio 1991), colleges and universities (Kraatz 1998; Brint and Karabel 1991), humanitarian groups (Christiansen and Molin 1995), associations (Halliday 1993), and drug abuse units (D'Aunno, Sutton, and Price 1991). A number of studies has demonstrated the relevance of the institutional approach to for-profit organizations, including large corporations (Haunschild and Miner 1997; Davis and Greve 1997; Galaskiewicz and Wasserman 1989; Holm 1995), railroads (Dobbin 1995), law firms (Tolbert 1988), and high-tech companies (Suchman 1995; Powell 1998). Some research has also looked at public sector organizations (Tolbert and Zucker 1983; Meyer, Scott, and Strang 1987; Meyer et al. 1988.).

  Although public sector organizations have long been seen as driving the institutionalization of business firms and nonprofit organizations, government agencies themselves have only occasionally been studied as subjects of institutional pressures. This research examines whether public sector organizations, when compared with organizations in the business and nonprofit sectors, are more or less as susceptible to mimetic, normative, and coercive pressures. Using data from the National Organizations Study, we discover that governmental organizations are in fact more vulnerable to all three types of institutional forces than other organizations, whereas the effect of institutional variables on for-profits and nonprofits is more sporadic. The susceptibility of public sector organizations to institutional pressures raises important questions for the field of public administration and has consequences for nonprofits and business firms, which are funded and regulated by government.

  Ecological studies have consistently reported that younger organizations are more likely to close or disband than older organizations. This article uses neo-institutional theory and social capital theory to explore this finding. We derive hypotheses from these perspectives and test them on a panel of nonprofit organizations in Minneapolis-St Paul (USA) using event history analysis. We find that larger organizations and organizations more dependent upon private donations are less likely to close, and government funding reduces the age effect on mortality; that is, older and younger publicly funded organizations are equally likely to survive or fail. However, among older organizations, not having government funding increases chances of survival. In contrast, volunteer staffing accentuates the age effect. Older organizations that were more dependent on volunteers had a lower likelihood of closure than younger organizations dependent on volunteers, while age had no effect on closure for organizations not depe...

  Autonomy from the state has been considered a core feature of American civil society, and understanding the consequences of perceived threats to that autonomy has been a central theme in social and political theory. We engage this theme by examining a specific question: What is the effect of government funding on nonprofit organizations' political activity? Extant theory and research identify some mechanisms by which government funding might reduce nonprofit political activity and other mechanisms by which government funding might enhance such activity. We investigate this relationship with two data sets: a national sample of religious congregations and a longitudinal sample of nonprofit organizations in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Results across these data sets are consistent and compelling: The relationship between government funding and nonprofit political activity is either positive or null; government funding does not suppress nonprofit political activity.

  Nonprofit boards, as boundary spanners, often serve the institutional purpose of afford- ing legitimacy to organizations. Neo-institutional theory suggests that nonprofit organi- zations, as particularly susceptible to legitimacy demands of changing environments, would tend toward rationalizing internal structures. This article, using historical panel data, explores the extent of one form of rationalization, recruiting trustees with college education and/or professional or managerial occupations. It finds that trustees with col- lege education, managers, and professionals continue to have significant representation on nonprofit boards. Also, many boards are increasingly less exclusive with respect to gender, race, and religion. Some select nonprofit boards, however, continue to be domi- nated by different gender, racial, and religious identities, suggesting that nonprofit boards also serve the purpose of representing different identity and/or interest groups in the community.

We found that group performance was contingent on the distribution of knowledge within the group and networks of social relationships among group members. Studying 39 teams of MBA students in two management simulation games, we found that, in general, groups that had broadly distributed knowledge, i.e., groups made up of members who had general knowledge, outperformed groups that had knowledge concentrated in different members, i.e., groups made up of members who had specialized or both specialized and general knowledge. However, the advantage that the former enjoyed over the latter disappeared when groups of specialists or mixed groups had decentralized network structures.

  To examine whether corporate giving had changed during the 1980s, I studied charitable contributions in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota in 1979-81 and 1987-89. There was no support for hypotheses that charitable contributions had decreased, became more tightly coupled to market position, or were less influenced by chief executive officers' social networks. In neither period did the percent of sales to consumers affect contributions; labor intensities had a weak negative effect in 1979-81 and a strong negative effect in 1987-89; and in both periods social network ties to local philanthropic leaders, company performance, and size were positively related to giving, while CEO ownership had a negative effect. Only when firms came under the control of a large outside investor was the effect of network position on contributions significantly weakened.

  Competing theories of organizational behavior offer a variety of reasons why organizations cease to exist. Some reasons are internal to the organization, such as losing control over financial matters and being unable to routinize procedures. Other reasons are environmental, such as changing market conditions, lacking social capital, outside regulation, and not being perceived as legitimate by external power holders. The authors interviewed representatives from dead nonprofit organizations to determine the extent to which these theoretical explanations match with respondent understandings of why their organizations closed. Respondents were more likely to attribute death to their smallness, youth, financial difficulties, personnel turnover, being perceived as unimportant, or decreased demand for their services.

The discussion has been improved in response to comments from Roberto Fernandez, Mark Mizruchi, Gerald Salancik, Thomas Schqtt, and the ASO referees. Two network contagion models are used to describe corporate contributions officers' evaluations of nonprofit organizations seeking philanthropic donations. Contagion by cohesion predicts that behavioral communication between contributions officers results in their sharing the same evaluation. Contagion by structural equivalence predicts that symbolic communication via role playing between officers similarly positioned in the interorganization network of contributions officers results in similar evaluations. We find strong evidence of contagion, robust over differences in the evaluated nonprofit organizations and differences between officers. The evidence is overwhelmingly of contagion by structural equivalence.'

  Correspondence analysis, a data analytic technique used to study two‐way cross‐classifications, is applied to social relational data. Such data are frequently termed “sociometric” or “network” data. The method allows one to model forms of relational data and types of empirical relationships not easily analyzed using either standard social network methods or common scaling or clustering techniques. In particular, correspondence analysis allows one to model: —two‐mode networks (rows and columns of a sociomatrix refer to different objects) —valued relations (e.g. counts, ratings, or frequencies). In general, the technique provides scale values for row and column units, visual presentation of relationships among rows and columns, and criteria for assessing “dimensionality” or graphical complexity of the data and goodness‐of‐fit to particular models.

In general, the technique provides scale values for row and column units, visual presentation of relationships among rows and columns, and criteria for assessing “dimensionality” or graphical complexity of the data and goodness-of-fit to particular models. Correspondence analysis has recently been the subject of research by Goodman, Haberman, and Gilula, who have termed their approach to the problem “canonical analysis” to reflect its similarity to canonical correlation analysis of continuous multivariate data. This generalization links the technique to more standard categorical data analysis models, and provides a much-needed statistical justification. We review both correspondence and canonical analysis, and present these ideas by analyzing relational data on the 1980 monetary donations from corporations to nonprofit organizations in the Minneapolis St. Paul metropolitan area. We also show how these techniques are related to dyadic independence models, first introduced by Holland, Leinhardt, Fienberg, and Wasserman in the early 1980's. The highlight of this paper is the relationship between correspondence and canonical analysis, and these dyadic independence models, which are designed specifically for relational data. The paper concludes with a discussion of this relationship, and some data analyses that illustrate the fact that correspondence analysis models can be used as approximate dyadic independence models. © 1990, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

  This paper is a revision of a paper entitled "An Approach to the Study of Structural Change" presented at the Annual Meetings of the American Sociological Association, August 30-September 3, 1986, New York, NY. We are grateful to Dawn lacobucci for her research assistance, and we thank Gloria DeWolfe for typing the manuscript. We also thank Marshall W. Meyer and three anonymous ASO referees for their helpful comments. Support for this research was provided by National Science Foundation grants #SES 80-08570 and #SES 83-19364 to the University of Minnesota and #SES 84-08626 to the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. Support was also provided by the Program on Nonprofit Organizations, Yale University. The paper explores DiMaggio and Powell's thesis that under conditions of uncertainty organizational decision makers will mimic the behavior of other organizations in their environment. We add to their discussion by positing that managers are especially likely to mimic the behavior of organizations to which they have some type of network tie via boundary-spanning personnel. Data are presented on the charitable contributions of 75 business corporations to 198 nonprofit organizations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area in 1980 and 1984. Using logistic regression models, we found that a firm is likely to give more money to a nonprofit that was previously funded by companies whose CEOs and/or giving officers are known personally by the firm's boundary-spanning personnel. Firms are also likely to give greater contributions to a nonprofit that is viewed more favorably by the local philanthropic elite. We also found that a nonprofit is likely to receive more money from a corporation that previously gave money to nonprofits whose directors sitzon the nonprofit's board. We concluded that managers utilize the information gathered through extraorganizational, interpersonal networks to make decisions on how to relate to other organizations in their task environment and achieve organizational ends.'

We would like to thank Denise Cobb for her assistance in typing the manuscript and an anonymous ASQ reviewer for his or her insightful comments. This paper examines the effect of ownership patterns on corporate contributions to charity and corporate beliefs rationalizing contributions. The study uses data and findings from an earlier study of the Twin Cities corporate grants economy and new data on 69 publicly held firms headquartered in Minneapolis-St. Paul to test hypotheses derived from agency theory about corporate giving. Controlling for pretax income, proximity of the company's executives to the local philanthropic elite, and the rationale used to justify contributions, we found that companies gave less money to charity in 1979-1981 if the CEO or some other individual owned a significant percentage of stock in the company. In contrast, the percentage of stock owned by a single corporate interest or family group had no effect on company contributions. Social proximity of executives to the local philanthropic activists had a positive effect on contributions, except when a family group owned more than 5 percent of the company's stock. We explore the implications of our findings from the perspective of agency theory and business policy.'

  The paper seeks to identify the criteria which companies use to select board members and which firms use to select the outside boards they sit on. Hypotheses were drawn from theories which view corporate interlocks as a strategy of market cooptation and from theories which argue that board interlocks are based on the prestige of CEOs or the prestige of companies. These hypotheses were tested on a population of 116 manufacturing corporations in a major metropolitan area. The statistical models used in the paper were developed by Fienberg and Wasserman. In sum, we found that interlocking on the metropolitan level was not influenced by the market position of firms. Neither dependencies across industrial sectors nor the locale of labor and consumer markets had any effects on the choice *Paper presented at the 1982 meetings of the American Sociological Assocation-Session on Elites.

  The personal networks and the attitudes toward clients of a unique set of bureaucratic professionals-corporate giving officers-are examined. Motivated by the finding that the corporate support of a nonprofit is a function of a firm's reputation among contributions professionals (Galaskiewicz, 1985), this paper examines the structure of these professionals' networks and tests to see if proximity results in two giving officers recognizing andlor thinking well of the same nonprofits in their community. Data were analyzedfrom a survey of 150 publicly-held business corporations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. The more proximate two officers were in the network, the more likely they were to evaluate prospective donees in the same way. Professional associations had an indirect effect on how giving officers evaluated nonprofits in that actors who belonged to the same association were more proximate in the contact network. Highly professionalized contributions staff in different firms tended to recognize the same nonprofits in their task environment, independent of their proximity in the network. Finally, job status had an indirect effect on how staff evaluated nonprofits. Under conditions of environmental uncertainty, or when two officers were not members of the same professional association, job status influenced proximity in the network. Thus job status, professional associations, and proximity in the professional network each in its own way had some effect on the knowledge and evaluations of giving officers in our case study.

  The paper seeks to identify the criteria which companies use to select board members and which firms use to select the outside boards they sit on. Hypotheses were drawn from theories which view corporate interlocks as a strategy of market cooptation and from theories which argue that board interlocks are based on the prestige of CEOs or the prestige of companies. These hypotheses were tested on a population of 116 manufacturing corporations in a major metropolitan area. The statistical models used in the paper were developed by Fienberg and Wasserman. In sum, we found that interlocking on the metropolitan level was not influenced by the market position of firms. Neither dependencies across industrial sectors nor the locale of labor and consumer markets had any effects on the choice © 1985

  This study focuses on community structure as a network of interorganizational linkages, with an eye toward (1) generating new conceptual schemes to study the community as a social network and (2) developing a methodology to measure new dimensions of community structure. An analysis of structurally equivalent roles is performed in two communities for three organizational resource networks: money, information, and moral support. Global dependencies on resource generator, consumer, and transmitter roles for the money network are analyzed using loglinear models. Local dependencies within the money network are also examined. Finally, the study examines the perceived influence of organizations in community affairs as a function of the organizations' global positions within the community network.

  Abstract In 1977, Holland and Leinhardt introduced a new statistical approach to sociometric data analysis. The details of their approach, based on a model termed P 1 , were published in 1981 in papers by Holland and Leinhardt, and Fienberg and Wasserman. Since then, many researchers have adopted this model, addressing substantive questions that were unanswerable with existing methodology. The continuing methodological research of Fienberg and Wasserman has allowed this approach to be applied to many different types of sociometric data. We carry on this research by extending p 1 to three new situations: networks of such size that it is impossible for every actor to have contact or knowledge of the other actors; networks in which actor interaction can not be adequately modeled by the simple additive main effects of expansiveness and popularity; and networks in which we measure the strength of the relationship between actors using a non-binary or multivalued relational quantity.

  Two models of interest group behavior are outlined and discussed. The cooptation model finds organized interest groups establishing informal contacts with city officials and achieving political favors through these informal channels. The petition model finds interest groups confronting public officials in the public arena securing favors from city government by threatening to use their resources to build oppositional coalitions. Our goal was to see if structural conditions in a community make one or the other strategy more successful. Our findings suggest that cooptation is more common in cities with less complex economic and social structures, but petition is more common in cities with more complex structures. Furthermore, in cities with weaker city governments cooptation is more common, while petition is more common with strong city governments. Finally, we found an interaction effect that cooptation occurs in complex systems but only if city government is weak.

  We adapt a class of new stochastic models for social networks to the study of social change in corporate interlock networks. Data on a regional (Minnesota) network are used to verify several descriptive hypotheses drawn from the existing literature concerning interlocking directorates. We conclude that corporations are more likely to make reciprocal board linkages asymmetric than they are to reciprocate asymmetric ties, popular firms are just as likely as less popular firms to be recruited to new boards, popular firms are more likely than less popular firms to leave boards, and nonfinancial business organizations are more likely to form new board ties with commercial banks and insurance companies than with other nonfinancial firms.

  Organizational networks in a medium-size midwestern community are examined. Smallest space analysis is used to describe the money, information, and support flows among a wide range of formal organizations. Actors central to these networks are described in detail, and path analysis is used to examine the relationships between organizations' resources, interests, centrality, and influence in community affairs. Organizations which control the most funds and are more dependent on the community for money and legitimacy tend to be more central in each network. Organizations' technology also affects their centrality. However, resources and local dependencies have only an indirect effect on organizations' influence in the community. These effects are mediated by actors' centrality in the three resource networks. Centrality has the strongest direct effect on influence of all variables used in the analysis.

Mutuality is strongest for information flows, and weakest for money flows. "Multiplex" patternings-flows of two media in the same direction-are found for all three pairs of resources, while "exchange" effects-flows of two media in opposite directions-involving information and money, and information and support, but not money and support, are also indicated. Moreover, the tendencies toward symmetry in the information and support networks are accentuated in the presence of one another. The analysis suggests that information flows play a crucial role in conditioning the flows of the other resources, and that they may be a precondition to the establishment of more elaborate interorganizational networks. © 1978.

  The conception of community leadership structure as a regularized pattern of communication and exchange of information pertinent to community affairs among members of a community elite, proposed by Laumann and Pappi (1973-1976), is extended in several related direcions. First, the network of regularized communication contact is related to issue-specific discussion patterns and to outcome preference and activation on specific issues. Our anlysis indicates that our measure of the routinized community-affairs discussion network is valid in that it represents a distillation of contact patterns that exist with regard to a variety of specific issues. Moreover, discussion contacts among the elite on routine, instrumental issues are found to be more closely reflected in the regularized network than are such contacts on unique, value-laden consummatory issues. We also find a moderated degree of "institutionalization" of contact patterns and support for an instrumentally orientad "bargaining" model of issue resolut...
