Abstract

This research note focuses on one type of third sector organisation – community-based organisations (CBOs) – and notes how such organisations often struggle with implementing ‘management’ advice. It offers four theoretical frameworks for understanding CBOs: small groups; community embeddedness; local social movements; and organisational evolution. It then discusses the practical implications of the theoretical analysis for those running CBOs. It concludes that CBOs need to avoid the application of ‘management’ principles where these seem to threaten to destroy the very characteristics for which CBOs are most valued by their participants.

社区组织可以“管理”吗?一个探索

本研究报告聚焦于一种类型的第三部门组织——社区组织（CBO），并指出了这些组织如何经常难以实施“管理”建议。它为理解社区组织提供了四个理论框架：小团体；社区嵌入性；地方社会运动；以及组织演变。然后讨论了理论分析对CBO运营商的实际意义。它的结论是，社区组织需要避免应用“管理”原则，因为这些原则似乎有可能破坏社区组织最受参与者重视的特征。
