E‐corporate social responsibility in small non‐profit organisations: the case of Spanish ‘Non Government Organisations’
2012
The image and the reputation of small NGOs have direct bearing on the capacity of these entities to retain and attract members, volunteers and donors. These attributes have been linked to the concept of Social Responsibility. Therefore, for NGOs to be socially responsible and to make this fact known is a key factor that will have a positive influence on their image and reputation and will contribute to their being recognised and to strengthening social confidence in them. This article analyses the e‐corporate social responsibility in Spanish NGOs. It shows the infra‐use that NGOs make of the Internet as an information medium to communicate their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practic…
L'applicazione degli strumenti di programmazione e controllo nelle aziende non profit
2011
Questo volume vuol rendere omaggio al professor Sergio Terzani che, con l'inizio dell'anno accademico 2010-2011, conclude la sua vita didattica, omaggio reso da tutti coloro che sono "nati" e "cresciuti" a Firenze e che quindi, direttamente o indirettamente, sono stati suoi allievi. I temi affrontati sono di carattere generale e particolare, nel senso che le varie problematiche vengono trattate sia in termini assoluti, sia in relazione a determinati fenomeni e circoscritte situazioni. In ogni caso, anche là dove l'indagine vanta una lunga tradizione, sono state adottate impostazioni del tutto moderne che come tali, nel tener conto delle vigenti normative, assumono una dimensione che si coll…
How news affect the trading behavior of different categories of investors in a financial market
2015
We investigate the trading behavior of a large set of single investors trading the highly liquid Nokia stock over the period 2003-2008 with the aim of determining the relative role of endogenous and exogenous factors that may affect their behavior. As endogenous factors we consider returns and volatility, whereas the exogenous factors we use are the total daily number of news and a semantic variable based on a sentiment analysis of news. Linear regression and partial correlation analysis of data show that different categories of investors are differently correlated to these factors. Governmental and non profit organizations are weakly sensitive to news and returns or volatility, and, typica…

What Explains Governance Structure in Non-Profit and For-Profit Microfinance Institutions?
2009
This paper aims to explain the choice of board and CEO characteristics in microfinance institutions (MFI). Explanations are sought in substitution or complementarity between the characteristics, external governance variables, and financial performance and outreach performance to the poor. The data are from 290 MFIs in 61 countries, and the logit regressions methodology is employed. The board and CEO characteristics are board size, CEO-chairman duality, international directors, and female CEO. We find relationships among these variables, and also that the external governance variables ownership type (shareholder owned) and international initialization induce smaller board, less duality, more…
Donation Crowdfunding : Principles and Donor Behaviour
2020
AbstractDonation crowdfunding is a form of internet-enabled fundraising where backers provide funding based on philanthropic motivations without expectation of monetary or material rewards. Despite accounting for only a marginal share of global crowdfunding volumes, donation crowdfunding is a unique model for supporting a wide range of prosocial and charitable causes, while allowing fundraisers to leverage benefits afforded by ICT solutions for more effective and efficient fundraising. The chapter provides an overview of the limited research on donation crowdfunding while highlighting donor motivations and behaviour, as well as drivers of success in donation campaigns. We find that current …

The governance of non-profit micro finance institutions: lessons from history
2009
Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Management & Governance. Also available from Springer: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10997-009-9116-7 Microfinance is high on the public agenda, and better corporate governance has been identified as a key factor for enhancing the viability of the industry. However, recent literature on the subject struggles to identify the corporate governance mechanisms that influence the performance of the Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs). Guided by stakeholder and agency theories, this paper uses a historical parallel found in savings banks to present corporate governance lessons for MFIs, particularly non-profit MFIs, today. The findings indicate…
