8th Workshop on the Challenges of Managing the Third Sector, Galway (Ireland), 9-10 june 2011, call for papers until 3 march
The Third Sector - such as the voluntary, charitable, financial co-operative, religious, health and educational organisations which sit outside the confines of the private (‘profit’) and public sectors - is facing a rapidly changing environment which challenges its efficient management and continuation. This research workshop seeks to examine current influences on the effective operation of these non-profit organisations. We are interested in high quality research papers which address the managerial challenges facing this sector. The organisers are particularly interested in the results of managerial, economic and inter-disciplinary approaches.
This workshop will be of interest to researchers active in this area but also to policy-makers, senior managers and practitioners from all disciplines.
