Experts bring economic tools to bear on philanthropic activities, addressing topics that range from the determinants of giving to the effectiveness of fundraising techniques. Economists are increasingly aware of the need to better understand philanthropic activities. In this book, economists address a variety of topics related to the economics of philanthropy, ranging from the determinants of giving to the effectiveness of fundraising techniques. The contributions focus on individual motives for giving and volunteering, and in particular how they affect donation outcomes, fundraising decisions, and public policies toward giving. Previous research has viewed motives for giving as embedded in formal models of economic behavior with rational agents who maximize their own utility while constrained by a budget. These models, however, have been shown to have poor predictive power, neglecting direct and indirect motives for giving. The contributors consider, among other subjects, the free-riding problem in these models; altruistic, direct, and indirect motives for giving, addressed both theoretically and with lab experiments; the linear public good game; the role of social information; the effectiveness of matching gifts and premiums; motives for unpaid volunteering; subscription models as a way to regulate revenue streams; and increasing reliance on public funds.

Identifying a new approach to disaster response: spontaneous, compassionate, and impromptu actions to alleviate suffering. In Spontaneous Venturing , Dean Shepherd and Trenton Williams identify and describe a new approach for responding to disaster and suffering: the local organizing of spontaneous, compassionate, and impromptu actions -- the rapid emergence of a compassionate venture. This approach, termed by the authors "spontaneous venturing," can be more effective than the traditional "command-and-control" methods of large disaster relief organizations. It can customize and target resources and deliver them quickly, helping victims almost immediately. For example, during the catastrophic 2009 bushfires in Victoria, Australia -- the focal disaster for the book -- residents organized an impromptu relief center that collected and distributed urgently needed goods without red tape. Special bonds and friendships formed among the volunteers and victims; some were both volunteer and victim. Many victims were able to mobilize resources despite considerable personal losses. Shepherd and Williams describe the lasting impact of disaster and tell the stories of Victoria residents who organized in the aftermath of the bushfires. They consider the limitations of traditional disaster relief efforts and explain that when victims take action to help others, they develop behavioral, emotional, and assumptive resilience; venturing leads to social interaction, community connections, and other positive outcomes. Finally, they explore spontaneous venturing in a less-developed country, investigating the activities of Haitians after the devastating 2010 earthquake. The lesson for communities hit by disaster: find opportunities for compassionate action.

This volume investigates how much governmental control is needed to reign in corporate and business greed and to make business "socially responsible" in Asia. It also questions whether business entities need to be reigned in by the government itself, or if other social, religious, or economic dynamics shape business entities in Asia. Moreover, it looks at how the Asian third sector influences BSR/CSR activities.

Duurzaamheid en MVO - maatschappelijk verantwoord ondernemen staan volop in de belangstelling. Vaak gaat het om duurzaam gedrag voor individuen, maar dan altijd in de rol van burger of van consument. Maar de schakel daartussen ontbreekt: de individuele professional. Want het gedrag van ieder bedrijf en van elke organisatie wordt uiteindelijk bepaald door het gedrag van de bestuurders, de managers en de medewerkers.Het boek is gebaseerd op een managementmethode: RESFIA+D. De zeven letters verwijzen naar de competenties waarover een duurzame professional beschikt. De methode wordt toegepast door bedrijven voor hun strategisch management en HRM, door professionals voor hun loopbaanplanning, en door universiteiten en hogescholen voor hun onderwijsontwikkeling.Verhalen uit de praktijk illustreren hoe echte mensen, midden in de praktijk van hun werk, die competenties tot uiting brengen. Samen met de theorie vormen ze een inspiratiebron voor duurzaam ondernemen in de praktijk. Ze laten zien dat iedere professional, hoog of laag in wat voor bedrijf of organisatie ook, kan bijdragen aan duurzame ontwikkeling.Deze publicatie is bedoeld voor algemene managers en HRM-managers in bedrijven, overheids- en zorginstellingen, scholen en universiteiten, politieke partijen, verenigingen, stichtingen en maatschappelijke organisaties. Maar ook voor coaches van professionals en voor die professionals zelf en voor consultants op het gebied van duurzaamheid en MVO.Tot slot is het boek prima geschikt als lesmateriaal voor leerlingen en studenten in het volwassenenonderwijs, hogescholen en universiteiten en hun docenten en onderwijsontwikkelaars.Bron : http://www.maklu.be
