ABSTRACT

One of the most difcult questions for management of any organization is how much to spend on different organization programs. Each organization has two types of programs, including revenue-producing and overhead programs. Even nonprot organizations have revenue-producing programs. These usually are fund-raising or something similar used to raise funds to support the mission of the organization. For for-prot organizations, it is much more clear cut — the mission of the organization includes the selling of goods or services that are to result in the organization making a prot. If it does not make a prot, it has not fullled its mission.
