Software packages for everything

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NONPROFIT & VOLUNTARY SECTOR MARKETING, Issue 4 2001
Article first published online: 12 JUL 200, Peter Flory
This paper details the way in which voluntary sector organisations can benefit from software packages designed for the commercial sector. Administrative activities of nonprofit and voluntary sector managers revolve around money and the paper demonstrates how the areas of income generation, administration and service provision can be more efficiently managed by the use of existing software. Off-the-shelf systems can be adapted simply by slightly changing the terminology. The paper concludes that, although the costs are high, they are more than offset by the potential benefits.

This paper examines the current status of marketing collaborations in the voluntary sector, within the context of the overall charity marketing environment. It compares the incidence and scope of collaborations in the voluntary sector with those of the commercial sector; while being mindful of some important inherent differences between the two milieus. The findings are illustrated with examples of charity collaborations, both past and present. The paper concludes with some possible ways forward for both practitioners and policy makers.

Aaron S. Kesselheim
Though many more patents emerge from industry sources, drug-related patents generated in the non-profit setting appear to have greater importance than patents arising from the commercial sector, which helps demonstrate the value non-profit research institutions can have in driving drug development.
