Yet debates continue about its place in nonprofit management. After an examination of the taxation status of charities ' business activities in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States the paper examines its treatment by scholars, nonprofit practitioners, and the business community. To gain some understanding of public opinion the paper then examines the treatment of nonprofit business venturing by the media in these countries. An analysis of this coverage reveals that much of the criticism appears in business media, which airs claims I The authors would like to thank Professor Myles McGregor-Lowndes and an anonymous reviewer for their valuable comments on an earlier version of this paper. 1 that tax exempt nonprofits are a source of "unfair " competition. It is important for nonprofits to understand the meanings and contestatio...

Weakened by years of government defunding, the sector now faces the shocks of shutdowns and social distancing on their bottom line. Post-COVID we propose that arts and culture organisations in the Not-for-profit sector express their contribution to society as social impact, in order to access more diverse sources of funding. This paper looks first at established ways of assessing economic value, then discusses the broader social value of arts and culture organisations. It then explores methods by which this can be measured and reported. Lastly, a review of relevant literature and best practice approaches to social impact measurement is provided, outlining a framework to produce evaluations that both strengthen their programs and enhance their ability to communicate their value to funders.

These tertiary education programs grew with relatively little reference to each other, yet both responded to nonprofit sector needs with similarities of vision and adult education philosophy and practice. Over time, the Australian program, based in a university business school, has been focused more on postgraduate programs, research, and more recently, social entrepreneurship and measuring social impact. The New Zealand program, with roots in a community development school, has grown with wide geographic coverage, alongside customized delivery for MAori and Pacific communities. Nonprofit sector, cultural, institutional, and wider contextual factors have played a part in shaping their current forms of delivery. Just as the nonprofit sector is characterized by a high degree of diversity in terms of organizational form, industry, and organizations, these programs have responded in different ways to multiple and diverse stakeholder influences. Given the size, significance, and growth of the sector, the uptake across all programs is smaller than expected in either country. Why is this so? In this article, we will examine the growth of the first accredited tertiary education programs in Australia and New Zealand and highlight the challenges and opportunities of delivering nonprofit management education in this region.

The relevant trends include growing reliance on - and pervasiveness of - commercially generated revenues, an increasingly entrepreneurial culture within the nonprofit sector, growing involvement of nonprofits with corporate partners, and intensifying competition with for-profit service providers. Positive assessments of nonprofits adopting for-profit managerial techniques and engaging in commercial activity are prominent in a range of literature but in particular found in the social entrepreneurship literature which refers to a broad set of entrepreneurial strategies to address social goals (Boschee 2001; Borgaza & Defourny 2001; Simons 2000; Thompson 2002). In a similar vein, much of the fundraising and resource development literature is focused on resource mobilisation targeting the market sector r...

In practice the leadership cult that was entrenched under Kim Il-sung, who led the country from 1948 to 1994, gave patriarchal relations a significant boost. Under Kim Il-sung, the nation was recast in line with traditional, largely Confucian, male-dominated family structures — a considerable backslide from the progressive gender norms promoted by the early Korean socialist movement. Despite its rhetoric, Kim Il-sung’s juche ideology directly perpetuated gender subordination .

The Political Economy of Business Ethics in East Asia, 2017

This portrayal has been regularly challenged by groups within Korean civil society. In recent times, the so-called “chaebol legitimacy problem” has become even more acute in the wake of their attempts to maintain family ownership through passing on chaebol ownership from father to son. In this chapter, we discuss the relevance of Lie, 1992a , Lie, 1992b concept of “modes of exchange” and Lie’s four typologies of modes of exchange: market, manorial, mercantile, and entrepreneurial to understand the different interpretations of the concept of “business ethics” coexisting in contemporary Korea. We argue that in postwar Korea there has been no linear or clearly staged trajectory from one mode of exchange to another. Instead, features of manorial, mercantile and, more recently, market and entrepreneurial modes have coexisted. In this context of mixed modes, the “rules of the game” including how they apply to the behavior of political and economic elites are more fluid. This uncertainty provides elites with the opportunity to rationalize and justify certain practices. However, as the Korean economy and democracy has matured and become more exposed to exogenous shocks some rules of the game are shifting and political and economic elites’ past justification strategies are no longer working.

profound and yet under-appreciated impact on the social construction of femininity. Drawing
on forty-five in-depth interviews with North Korean refugees, interviews with regular visitors
to North Korea and NGO workers, as well as our own field notes from trips to North Korea, we
analyse changes over three discernible (yet overlapping) economic periods: the 1960s-1990s
pre-famine period; the mid-1990s to late 2000s grassroots capitalism era; and the current Kim
Jong Un period of quasi-capitalism. As dress is a discursive daily practice of gender, we focus
on the practice of femininity as shown through North Korean women’s fashion choices. We
argue that images of women in state propaganda have been shaped primarily by male leaders,
but norms of femininity have shaped, and also been shaped by, women themselves. That is, the
recent trend for North Korean women to dress in hyper-feminine styles can be explained in
terms of women remaking themselves and planning their future lives.

Focusing on Australian reportage of North Korea in The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald and from the
Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2012, this paper explicates how the framing mechanisms utilised in media point to media complicity in reinforcing a negative, adversarial orientation towards North Korea. It also discusses implications for how Australians view theNorth Korean people, AustralianNorth Korean relations, and policy pertaining to Northeast Asia more broadly.
