Nonprofit organization leaders increasingly encounter social burdens and financial difficulties, jeopardizing ongoing success and organizational sustainability. The purpose of this single-case study was to explore revenue diversification strategies used by 3 leaders of a small nonprofit organization in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States through the conceptual lens of modern portfolio theory.

<p>Businesses carrying out related diversification moves with the objective to gain synergy effects have been a frequently occurring phenomenon since the midst of the past century.

Our objective is to present a model which also takes into account the internal data presented by the line of research called horizontal strategies, with the aim of moving towards a more accurate ex

Abstract:

The construction and Civil Engineering industry is characterized by high risks, but equally high returns. The dynamics and complexities of this industry and its cycles, make it an extremely volatile and difficult industry to operate within. This is evident in the number of construction companies currently struggling to remain solvent, have gone into business rescue, and filed for bankruptcy. This industry has historically struggled to position itself effectively to deal with a down turning macro-economic environment - When it is good, it is very good, but when it is bad, it is very bad.

Abstract:

The primary objective of this work has been in testing the global hypothesis that technology licensing (the purchase and sale of technology as an alternative to that of goods), is used as a tool in the diversification strategies of small manufacturing firms. The research suggests that diversification does commonly occur in such firms and that technology licensing can be a factor in this. Diversification emerged as important at the median of the small firm scale (100-200 employees). Such firms were found to diversify substantially more than either very small or medium sized firms, although very

As usual in the history of economic ideas, the most promising way to address a discussion with such strong ideological connotations is to assess the empirical evidence.

Abstract:

L'agriculture des espaces périurbains est doublement contrainte (libéralisation économique accrue et effets de la proximité urbaine). Les contextes généraux et locaux lui offrent néanmoins l'opportunité de s'investir dans un renouvellement de ses fonctions (contextes de la durabilité et des programmes agriurbains). La question de l'engagement des exploitations dans le processus de « transition agricole » par la voie de la diversification, notamment par les services, et dans une perspective d'ancrage au territoire de la ville, constitua ainsi notre principale entrée.

The research further investigates t

Abstract:

" ... every related diversification is also fundamentally an unrelated one" (Mintzberg, 1991). Due to the cyclical nature of the demand for construction, quantity surveyors are forced to contend with large fluctuations in the demand for their services. This has prompted firms to consider diversifying into more lucrative ventures. This study explores the concept of diversification as a means to offset cyclical fluctuations, and to stimulate growth. The available literature emphasises the advantages of related diversification over unrelated diversification. It is argued that this creates synergy
