The document discusses strategic issues in not-for-profit organizations. It notes that while NFPs are not intended to make profits, they are expected to use their performance to better society. Their goals may include improving education programs, preventing disease, or providing government services efficiently. The managers of NFPs must understand they compete for scarce resources like donations and need to strategically plan to demonstrate high performance and meet goals. Strategic planning is thus as important for NFP managers as for profit-seeking businesses. The document outlines various types of NFPs and constraints they face in strategic decision-making and implementation due to factors like weak client influence, goal conflicts, and decentralized structures.
