Abstract

This study examined theories and concepts related to the enactment of strategic project risk management in non-profit organizations. A vulnerability-based conceptual model VBCM was developed that shows how risk management behaviours can help non-profit managers deal with complex interorganizational factors and uncertainty in projects’ contexts for ensuring the desired social impacts stakeholders expect. Three main vulnerabilities – finances, human relationships and alliances – arise from the challenges non-profits face when attracting and retaining human and material resources and building cooperative relationships within local contexts in order to achieve projects’ social goals.

摘要

本研究考察了与非营利组织实施战略项目风险管理相关的理论和概念。开发了一个基于漏洞的概念模型 VBCM，它展示了风险管理行为如何帮助非营利组织管理者处理复杂的组织间因素和项目环境中的不确定性，以确保利益相关者期望的社会影响。非营利组织在吸引和留住人力和物质资源以及在当地环境中建立合作关系以实现项目的社会目标时所面临的挑战产生了三个主要弱点——财务、人际关系和联盟。
