“…Nah & Saxton (2012) constatan en su trabajo que «las características de gobernanza de la organización son cruciales para asegurar que los recursos son utilizados adecuadamente y las estrategias con respecto a la adopción y utilización de las tecnologías de la información» (Hackler & Saxton, 2007:481). En este estudio se detectaron como factores determinantes para la adopción y uso de los social media la estructura como asociación (Smith, 1993), el tamaño del grupo directivo (Olson 2000), y la eficiencia organizativa (Gill & Flynn & Reissing, 2005).…”

Resumen:El Sector No Lucrativo en España se ha venido desarrollando tradicionalmente al abrigo del apoyo público, tanto para el desarrollo de sus actividades, como respecto de su propio mantenimiento interno. Durante la profunda crisis económica, vivida desde 2007, el retroceso que éste ha sufrido en el volumen de aportaciones, procedentes tanto de las arcas públicas, como de las donaciones privadas, así como la mayor reticencia financiadora por parte de la banca tradicional, lo han situado, de facto, en un escenario de profunda debilidad financiera. Consecuentemente, su rol como fuerza económica y social se ha visto sustancialmente reducido. Todos estos factores, le han avocado a la búsqueda de un nuevo marco de financiación, un marco diferente que surge en el mismo seno del nuevo paradigma digital en el que la ciudadanía del siglo xxi se halla inmersa, y del cual emergen nuevos y originales espacios para el desarrollo de la filantropía. El mayor exponente en estos espacios lo constituye el crowdfund- ing, que propicia el surgimiento de colectivos de ciudadanos financiadores en torno a en torno a valores y objetivos concretos y afines. En este contexto se asiste al nacimiento de un nuevo concepto que define certeramente este novedoso modelo filantrópico: la sociedad mecenas. El objeto de este trabajo es analizar las potencialidades del crowdfunding que justifican su opción por el Sector No Lucrativo, como alternativa de fundraising en la financiación de su proyectos sociales. Palabras clave:Sector No Lucrativo, filantropía, crowdfunding social, fundraising, crowdsourcing. Abstract:The Non-Profit Sector in Spain has been traditionally developing with support from the public, both for the development of their activities, as for its own internal maintenance. During the profound economic crisis experienced since 2007, the decline that it has suffered in the volume of contributions, both from public coffers, and also private donations, as well as the great reluctance to provide funding by the traditional banking system, have placed it, de facto, in a scene of profound financial weakness. As a result, its role as an economic and social force has been substantially reduced. As a result of these factors, they have been obliged to search for a new funding framework, a different framework that arises in the same heart of the new digital paradigm in which citizens of the xxi century is immersed, and from which have emerged new and original spaces for the development of philanthropy. The greatest exponent of these spaces, crowdfunding, which is conducive to the emergence of groups of citizen funders in around values and goals and the like. In this context we are witnessing the birth of...

“…The focus of other five studies was merely on evaluating the board performance [24,27,28,30,33]. The remaining four studies explored both identifying the board performance indicators and evaluating the board performance on the basis of the identified indicators [23,25,32,35].

Background: Existing evidence with regard to the indicators of board performance evaluation of the University demonstrated that a comprehensive review of literature is required. The aim of this article is to add to the literature on performance evaluation of the universities' governing boards by providing a summary of literaturebased perspectives. Methodology: Systematic literature searches were undertaken, and relevant studies identified using specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected studies were appraised, and their findings synthesized. Principal Findings: Fourteen relevant studies were identified, mostly from the USA. Fifty six indicators, categorized in seven domains, were identified to evaluate board performance in different universities. Conclusion: Our results showed a gap in the literature with respect to the performance evaluation of universities' governing boards. Given the unique context of these universities, it is suggested that more research need to be done in order to understand the indicators of the board performance evaluation in these institutions.

“…Herman and Renz (1997), for example, identify the following list of commonly recommended good governance practices for non-profit boards: having a board nominating or board development committee, using a board profile when recruiting new members, conducting interviews with nominees, relying on written selection criteria for board members, providing members with a board manual, conducting orientation sessions for new members, adopting a policy concerning the attendance of meetings, dismissing members for absenteeism, giving all board members office or committee responsibilities, distributing agendas prior to meetings, organising an annual board retreat, establishing an executive committee with written roles and powers, conducting collective and individual evaluations and providing feedback on them, formulating expectations on giving and soliciting in writing, establishing a board process for appraising the CEO, limiting the number of possible consecutive terms and providing board members with recognition for their services after retirement. For lists or codes including similar criteria see, for example, Bradshaw et al, (1992), Canadian Comprehensive Audit Foundation (1996, Drucker (1998), Gill et al (2005), . For a good overview over relevant codes of corporate governance proposing similar measures see, for example, Gregory and Simmelkjaer (2002).…”
