Abstract(s)
The literature is consistent in stating that innovation helps
in improving the performance of nonprofit organizations
(NPOs), highlighting how there remains the scope for further research designed to better understand the dimension
supporting social innovation. Through the application of
the Tidd and Bessant model, which reflects an important
contribution to this specific sector, this study seeks to
meet a shortcoming in analyzing just which innovation
management factors influence the performance of NPOs.
To this end, we applied a quantitative methodology based
on a survey made of Portuguese NPOs that received a
total of 135 valid responses. Based upon the application of
multiple linear regression models, this study concludes
that there are five innovation management models with a
positive impact on NPO performance levels. In terms of
the implications, these results, consistent with earlier
research of a different nature, strengthen the idea that private business sector methods may undergo successful
adaptation to the social sector and assist such entities to
implement measures that offset their organizational, and
consequent financial, weaknesses.
