ABSTRACT
Although both for-proŠt and nonproŠt entities share such commonality, there are distinct diœerences between these two organizational categories. For-proŠt entities are motivated by the maximization of shareholder wealth and the demands of market in…uences, whereas nonproŠt entities are motivated by the fulŠllment of mission and the rendering of societal beneŠt through the provision of various services. Decisions among the environments of both organizational categories are aœected by the motivations that in…uence the overall perspectives of nonproŠt versus for-proŠt entities. Each and every organization is unique; no one approach to managing, leading, structuring, Šnancing, or implementing any other business function is fully
appropriate and applicable among all organizations. Any organization must fulŠll the requirements of its own unique domain of existence.
