The purpose of this article is to remedy this situation by developing a general definition of the sector that can be used in comparative research. To do so, the article first identifies four alternative types of definitions that are potentially available and evaluates each in terms of three basic criteria. On this basis it concludes that the most useful definition is the 'structural/operational' one, which includes in the non-profit sector organisations that share five basic characteristics. These are: formal, private, non-profit-distributing, self-governing and voluntary. The basic definition is then tested against the realities of three disparate countries and found to perform quite well. On this basis we recommend the structural/operational definition, particularly for comparative, crossnational research.}, language = {en} } @article{AnheierSalamon, author = {Anheier, Helmut K. and Salamon, Lester M.}, title = {In Search of the Nonprofit Sector II: The Problem of Classification}, series = {Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations}, volume = {3}, journal = {Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations}, number = {3}, publisher = {Kluwer Academic Publishers}, address = {Dordrecht}, issn = {0957-8765}, doi = {10.1007/BF01397460}, pages = {267 -- 309}, abstract = {Building on a previousVoluntas article (Salamon and Anheier, 1992b), which formulated a systematic approach to defining the non-profit sector for purposes of comparative research, this article takes on the complementary task of formulating a classification system that can be used to differentiate systematically the types of non-profit organisations that exist at the global level. To do so, the article first assesses a number of existing classification systems, such as the International Standard Industrial Classification and the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities. Finding these systems inadequate, the article then introduces an alternative system, which we term the International Classification of Nonprofit Organizations (ICNPO). The ICNPO classifies non-profit establishments into 12 major groups based on their primary economic activity, and then further sub-divides these into 24 sub-groups. The result is a system that scores high in terms of five key evaluation criteria: economy, significance, rigour, organising power, and richness. What is more, initial tests of the ICNPO in a set of countries show that it performs well in coming to terms with the diverse types of non-profit institutions that exist around the world.}, language = {en} } @techreport{SalamonAnheier, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Salamon, Lester M. and Anheier, Helmut K.}, title = {Toward an International Understanding of the Nonprofit Sector}, series = {(Working Papers of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project, 1)}, journal = {(Working Papers of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project, 1)}, publisher = {The Johns Hopkins University Institute for Policy Studies}, address = {Baltimore}, language = {en} } @techreport{SalamonAnheier, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Salamon, Lester M. and Anheier, Helmut K.}, title = {In Search of the Nonprofit Sector I: The Question of Definitions}, series = {(Working Papers of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project, 2)}, journal = {(Working Papers of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project, 2)}, publisher = {The Johns Hopkins University Institute for Policy Studies}, address = {Baltimore}, language = {en} } @techreport{SalamonAnheier, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Salamon, Lester M. and Anheier, Helmut K.}, title = {In Search of the Nonprofit Sector II: The Problem of Classification}, series = {(Working Papers of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project, 3)}, journal = {(Working Papers of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project, 3)}, publisher = {The Johns Hopkins University Institute for Policy Studies}, address = {Baltimore}, pages = {34}, language = {en} }
