Building the Knowledge Base of Nonprofit Management:
A Searchable Database
An Interdisciplinary Conversation on Research Method Best Practices for Nonprofit Studies.
Abstract
This special issue addresses the questions: How can research be useful
to nonprofits, and which combination of methods would be most useful
given a particular need or question? In each article, case examples
from research on nonprofit issues are provided to outline the basic
conceptual issues for that discipline, explain key methods, and
identify the hallmarks of quality research. Each article also outlines
the implications of that particular research method for nonprofit
management. Issues addressed include types of quantitative research in
nonprofit studies, multimethods ethnography, and the application of
research approaches. All of the overview methods articles in this
issue stress that research is only as good as the theory behind it.
