“…However, they may collapse, die, disappear, become unproductive, or be refined in purpose into renewed relationships. NPOs are often faced with collapsing or unproductive relationships when they use SNPs [10,15], but rebuilding those relationships remains a huge challenge that is worthy of consideration [85]. Learning from the communitycultivation cycle and the basic modes of interaction on SNPs, Figure 1 below illustrated the core stages that one should expect when building OCR on CoSNPs.…”

“…Collaborative networked organisations often seek to build productive and sustainable relationships with a target community, and such relationships are here coined as organisation-community relationships (OCRs). OCRs are seemingly productive at the start, especially when NPOs pursue advocacy-based goals [14]; but, the relationships slowly collapse and become unproductive in due course [10,15]. This trend can be attributed to the limited use of SNP interactive capabilities, which reduces the organisation's network activity [16,17].…”

Nonprofit organisations use social networking platforms to interact, engage, and build productive relationships with target audiences for co-created outcomes. This chapter pursues two interrelated objectives: First, it identifies key stages in the growth of organisation-community relationships on co-creative social networking platforms. Second, it discusses the multi-levelled factors influencing these relationships at the respective stages. To achieve these objectives, we make a general review of scholarship on nonprofit use of social media, social networking platforms for co-creation, and organisation-public relationships on social media. We used the ecological systems perspective to identify the internal and external environmental influences on organisational relationships in social networking platforms. This chapter presents three abstract stages of organisation-community relationships: emergence, growth, and collapse, based on existing empirical observations and theoretical perspectives. We reveal four levels of ecological-based factors that influence different stages of organisation-community relationships on co-creative social networking platforms. We indicate the potentially strong and weaker influences on organisational relationships.

“…Most NPOs receive their funding from various sources including corporates, high net-worth individuals, international agencies, amongst others, with whom they have stringent agreements on the use of funds for successful projects [5]. It is because of such conditions that most NPO's are taking strides to employ more project-based approaches when tackling their work.…”

The research explored how application of Project Management Software (PMS) influences project success. A case of NPOs in the Western Cape was used. The research objectives were 1) Establish if PMS is applied in the NPO's work. 2) Determine employee's interactions with PMS relative to project success 3) Identify limitations of current PMS being used. The sample group consisted of 132 project-implementing NPO's in the Western Cape. The research instrument used were questionnaires, which were administered physically and online. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The research revealed that PMS is utilized in a significant number of organisations with the most popular ones used being MS Project, Project Manager and Jira. Most users utilize PMS on a weekly or monthly basis especially during the project planning and execution stages. The limitations of the software include that it can over-complicate issues, be time-consuming and costly.

“…El sector no lucrativo es un componente estratégico de empoderamiento social y construcción de comunidad, que se ha convertido en una fuerza económica a nivel nacional e internacional (Cho, 2007;Sirianni & Friedland, 2001). Sin embargo, dada la transformación y el crecimiento de las sociedades, las Beyoungri Danche se enfrentan a más y nuevas necesidades, lo que incrementa la complejidad para que sus dirigentes logren su sostenibilidad (Jeong B., 2013;Holtzhausen, 2013). Por ejemplo, los líderes coreanos de estas instituciones, parecen estar limitados por la financiación pública concedida por los gobiernos locales y el gobierno central, en particular en el establecimiento de objetivos y la asignación de recursos (Jung & Moon, 2007).…”
