Data Envelopment Analysis As A Benchmarking Application For Humanitarian Organizations, Dan Rodman
Data Envelopment Analysis As A Benchmarking Application For Humanitarian Organizations, Dan Rodman
Theses and Dissertations
Humanitarian aid organizations are under tremendous pressure and competition for donor funds to sustain their operations. However, donor contribution levels have remained relatively stagnant over the past five years and are unlikely to grow in the foreseeable future. Additionally, donor policies and mandates have added pressure on humanitarian aid organizations to comply with new and more complex requirements.
Many humanitarian aid organizations work in some of the most challenging areas of the world, where conflict, famine, environmental, economic, and cultural challenges are prevalent. Given all these factors, a novel form of performance and efficiency measurement is needed to evaluate the …
Windfall Payment Savings: An Examination Of Act 13 Disbursements In Pennsylvania, Corey Young
Windfall Payment Savings: An Examination Of Act 13 Disbursements In Pennsylvania, Corey Young
West Chester University Doctoral Projects
State and local governments occasionally receive positive exogenous payments or windfalls that have a significant impact on their budgets. However, few works examine how budget-makers allocate such payments or if they are consumed in a manner consistent with other revenue streams. Prior research suggests that multiple factors, including the size of a windfall payment, impact how much of the funds are saved and spent. Using data from the Act 13 Unconventional Natural Gas Impact Fee in Pennsylvania, this study examines the relationship between windfall payment size and savings rates between 2011 and 2019. The results of the study indicate that …
Legitimación De La Violencia A Través De La Doctrina De La Responsabilidad De Proteger (R2p): Evaluación De Derechos Humanos En La Intervención Libia 2011-2013, Laura Daniela Mantilla Álvarez
Legitimación De La Violencia A Través De La Doctrina De La Responsabilidad De Proteger (R2p): Evaluación De Derechos Humanos En La Intervención Libia 2011-2013, Laura Daniela Mantilla Álvarez
Negocios y Relaciones Internacionales
La primavera árabe consiguió para Libia el desarrollo de una guerra civil que colapsó al país. Esta situación desencadenó la intervención de entidades internacionales como la Organización de Naciones Unidas (ONU), que buscaban velar por la protección de los Derechos Humanos (DDHH) de los civiles inmersos en la guerra, sin embargo, con la aplicación de la doctrina de la Responsabilidad de Proteger (R2P), y la intervención militar realizada por la Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte (OTAN), no se cumplieron con tales objetivos. La importancia de la investigación radica en la necesidad de comprender acontecimientos internacionales que involucran diversos organismos …
Factors Affecting Web-Based Social Service Referral Technology Adoption In The Nonprofit Sector, Elizabeth A. Hutton
Factors Affecting Web-Based Social Service Referral Technology Adoption In The Nonprofit Sector, Elizabeth A. Hutton
Master's Projects
Nonprofits play a significant role in providing social services that increase communities' overall well-being (Ressler et al., 2021; Reckhow et al., 2019; Smith & Phillips, 2016), and adopting new technologies helps promote these positive outcomes (Hackler & Saxton, 2007). However, with new technologies emerging at a pace few nonprofit organizations can keep up with, how do nonprofit leaders decide which technologies to adopt given their limited resources? This study seeks to understand what factors affect nonprofit leaders' technology adoption decision-making. Online referral platforms are not new in health or homeless organizations. Web-based coordinated social service referral tools are more recently …
Greenpeace In Germany And The U.S.: A Case Study In Non-Profit Web Design, Maximilian J. Weirauch
Greenpeace In Germany And The U.S.: A Case Study In Non-Profit Web Design, Maximilian J. Weirauch
CMC Senior Theses
This thesis draws on Geert Hofstede’s cultural dimensions model, connects it to basic principles of web design, and applies it to a website analysis of the global non-profit organization Greenpeace. This case study of cultural dimensions in web design utilizes Hofstede’s framework from 1974 throughout all its chapters and focuses on the cultural differences between Germany and the U.S. My hypothesis that successful marketing materials such as websites must communicate differently with their U.S.-American and German audiences is partially borne out. But it is important to note that Hofstede’s cultural dimensions model cannot fully account for certain intercultural dimensions of …
The Private Art Collector’S Foundation In France: Issues And Implications For The Cultural Landscape, Milena Berman
The Private Art Collector’S Foundation In France: Issues And Implications For The Cultural Landscape, Milena Berman
MA Theses
The last two decades have witnessed an explosion in the number of private art spaces worldwide. From Bentonville, Arkansas, to Naoshima, Japan, hundreds of impressive structures built by star architects have been funded by private individuals and corporations to house collections of modern and contemporary art, often in unlikely places. The famously-termed “Bilbao effect” in which a grand museum structure is set up outside of the established art capitals of the world, thus putting the city “on the map” of cultural tourism, has become a widespread trend. The examples vary greatly and range from small private “home museums”
made to …
Upscaling Textile Upcycling, Mason Scott, Brett High, Sophia Marcum, Rachel Schiffli, Andrew Flowers
Upscaling Textile Upcycling, Mason Scott, Brett High, Sophia Marcum, Rachel Schiffli, Andrew Flowers
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
Our research project was designed to answer one question: is it feasible for the Goodwill Industries of Akron to use upcycled clothing as a sustainable revenue driver to fund their mission? Upcycled products are simply defined as products whose value has been increased by combination or alteration. This contrasts with product reuse or recycling which Goodwill already utilizes as ways to generate revenue. Goodwill’s primary source of revenue currently is the resale of donated goods at their brick-and-mortar stores, and we thought that upcycled goods were consistent with their established business model. We hypothesized that the same consumers that presently …

The Viability Of Pop-Up Thrift Shops In Increasing Revenues For Goodwill Industries Of Akron, Morgan Andrews, Casey Bachowski, Caitlin Croston, Zach Dunphy, Weston Latham
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
The Honors Project in Business Administration course at The University of Akron (UA) College of Business (CoB), conducted September 2021 through May 2022, involved partnership with the local nonprofit Goodwill Industries of Akron (GIA) at the direction of Interim Dean of the CoB, Dr. Susan Hanlon. The purpose of this capstone project was to generate ideas and recommendations to GIA for a new, sustainable business unit, the revenue of which would cover the annual $250,000 operating cost of a new transportation support initiative to overcome GIA’s clients’ barriers to employment. During the secondary research phase of this project undertaken from …
Applying A Systems-Thinking Approach To Developing Resiliency In Muslim Nonprofit Organizations, Hamid Bertal
Applying A Systems-Thinking Approach To Developing Resiliency In Muslim Nonprofit Organizations, Hamid Bertal
Full-Text Theses & Dissertations
Nonprofit organizations play a major role in maintaining balance in societies. They provide support and services to communities that governments cannot. They create an environment in communities wherein social problems can be more easily addressed. Nonprofit organizations also contribute billions of dollars to the economy and create thousands of jobs in communities. Muslim nonprofit organizations are among the faith-based nonprofit organizations contributing and playing an important role in American society as well. However, due to the world becoming more turbulent in highly volatile and uncertain times, many Muslims nonprofit organizations are unable to bounce back from crises and cope successfully …
