Chapter 9 examines the creation of cross-sector partnerships. These partnerships involve building unconventional relations between organizations that have traditionally not worked closely together, in particular between businesses and non-profit organizations. To achieve this, the different objectives and participating organizations need to be acknowledged and reflected in appropriate key performance indicators. Cross-sector partnerships go through several stages of development that move from philanthropy to transactions in the form of reciprocal exchanges between the partners, integration of the values and objectives of the partners, and transformation of these into values at the societal or community rather than the individual partner level. Completing the process of a full transformation of the partnership takes time and requires a sufficiently long-horizon on the part of the partner organizations.

The article is devoted to assessing the effect of the implementation of information technologies in non-profit organizations. The purpose of the assessment is to evaluate the effect of IT implementation and its impact on key performance indicators of an organization. The indicators characterizing the results of the organization’s activities in accordance with the State Assignment and the results of commercial activities were used as the key performance indicators. For federal state budget NPOs, it has been shown that a positive IT effect for auxiliary business processes does not directly ensure positive performance indicators for the core business processes. Hidden effects of the use of IT were assessed by changes of the indicators of the core business processes. Performance indicators characterizing the results of commercial activities may demonstrate a negative effect. Understanding the specifics of non-profit organizations, as well as metrics and performance parameters characterizing the effectiveness of such organizations, is important to ensure a correct approach to the digitalization of business processes and their performance management.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the operational performance of industrial park infrastructures in Germany to find first indications for cost saving potentials. Design/methodology/approach – Between 2006 and 2007, six chemical parks and chemical related industrial parks in Germany participated in a benchmarking study with focus on operation and maintenance of buildings, communication infrastructures and traffic infrastructures. Based on data analysis in combination with workshops, numerous key performance indicators were defined and calculated. Findings – To compare the different complexities of the analysed infrastructures, the most important key performance indicators were adjusted using correction factors defined and verified during the workshops. This made a discussion based on comparable and comprehensible figures possible which increased the acceptance and applicability of the benchmarking methodology. The benchmarking results showed large differences in performance levels, indicating that there are significant cost saving potentials in some industrial parks. Research limitations/implications – The comparability may remain limited due to the partly insufficient availability of data from the participants. Other limitations are due to the small number of investigated industrial parks and the focus of the benchmarking study on Germany. Originality/value – The developed benchmark and best practice methodology is well suited to evaluate best practice in the field of industrial park infrastructures. It is important for industrial parks to understand the individual performance level and to adapt best practice in all areas.

The article focuses on the importance of educational mentoring for older adolescent orphans that involves community-minded non-profit organizations. The authors have sufficiently substantiated and developed a technology of educational mentoring for orphans of school leaving age to be applied in centres for helping childreninvolving representatives of community-minded non-profit organizations in order to form the orphans’ skills and competencies necessary for living on their own, increase their level of hardiness and actualize the value and moral contexts. The effectiveness of the developed technology is ensured by the creation of such a pedagogical space in which, in the interaction of employees of the center for helping children and mentors-volunteers of a non-profit organization, a huge impact is made on the indicators of the formation of personal characteristics of the resilience of graduates and, in the future, on the results of their social adaptation and integration in society. The author comes to the conclusion that the system of pedagogical mentoring of orphans allows to increase the level of their social adaptation. The indicators of this technology are the spiritual and moral values inherent in the Russian family, and the mentoring technology is a pedagogical tool for the formation of model characteristics of a resilient graduate in orphans.

In this study the authors examine how socially oriented non-profit organizations are involved in the processes of creating conditions for harmonious personal development in contemporary realities. The financial aspect, which is directly linked to the increase in funding from public funds and organizations, contributes to this degree. As human life consists of three main components, such as physical needs, social needs and spiritual needs, we consider it necessary to take a closer look at social needs, which include the need of culture, education, leisure and tourism, which can be provided by non-profit organizations.

Research background: If globalization presents really a new and not reversible process that creates a more homogenous world, strategies of enterprises should appropriate to this phenomenon, too. European legislation has significantly contributed to the creation of the mutual market and increasing freedom of movement of services within the European Union. Its basic principle can be applied to the harmonization of basic requirements for services and the subsequent normalization – the creation of common European standards. This also applies to the area of non-profit organizations. These organizations are an important part of the public sector, which in the form of various activities, in particular the providing of various services, performs tasks related to addressing manifestations of market imbalances. In contrast to the “traditional” business sector (profit sector), the task of the non-profit sector is not to generate profit but to provide consumer tasks. Purpose of the article: The objective of the article is to clarify and present the specifics of functioning and management of non-profit organizations in the conditions of the Slovak Republic. Methods: During the elaboration of the paper, the methods of compilation of analysis, synthesis and description were used on the basis of the search of the relevant literature. Part of the paper is a survey, which we conducted through a questionnaire on a selected sample of non-profit organizations in the Slovak Republic. Findings & Value added: The results of the survey we have transported into general practice recommendations for non-profit organizations to improve their operating in the conditions of Slovakia while accepting the process of globalization.

The combat capabilities of modern means of warfare in the air, largely depend on the reliable functioning of electronic weapons and electronic weapon control systems. Therefore, during air operations, each of the belligerents will strive to disorganize the operation of radio-electronic means and radio-electronic systems for controlling forces and weapons in order to ensure the stable operation of their means. Modern stations of active interference of individual protection reduce aircraft damage by missiles with active and semi-active homing during air combat by 40-60%. The active development of airborne electronic countermeasures forces us to look for ways and means not only to protect against them, but also to actively counter these means, the so-called counter-radioelectronic countermeasures. Today, there are some methods of counter-radioelectronic counteraction to the airborne stations of active interference of the individual defense of the enemy, but the sequence and conditions of their application are not defined. Therefore, the article proposes to determine the features of the application of three methods of counter-radioelectronic counteraction and to develop an algorithm for counter-radioelectronic counteraction to on-board stations of active enemy interference in the conditions of the creation of various types of polarization interference by it. The development of the algorithm makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of counter-radioelectronic countermeasures based on performance indicators of the operation of an on-board radar weapon control station.

The article focuses on data, gathered from non‑governmental non‑profit organizations (NGOs) seated on the territory of the Czech Republic. Data collected from NGOs defined also by their legal form (association, subsidiary association, public benefit corporation, church legal entity) helped to monitor the structure of main and economic activity of organizations. In the article, the mutual differences in the main and economic activity of NGOs are analysed. The link between legal form and selected categories of main activities according to the classification COPNI has been verified by the Fisher’s exact test with p‑values computed by Monte Carlo simulations using 2,000 replications. Furthermore, this test has been used to prove statistically significant dependency between the individual categories of main and economic activities. On the basis of a conclusive statistical survey at the level 5 %, the dependency between legal form of non‑governmental non‑profit organization and its main activity has been verified as well as the correlation between main and economic activities of associations.

The model of the Economy for the Common Good (ECG) has cooperation as one of its main principles. This alternative economic model proposes to prioritize cooperation over competition to favor the creation of social value. From this point of view, strategic alliances between organizations can be used as an instrument that supports implementation of the ECG model. In recent years, alliances between for-profit and non-profit entities have been strengthened as a method to facilitate actions focused on social responsibility and sustainability. Moreover, the ECG model has become an adequate management framework for corporate sustainability. This work aims to connect alliances between for-profit and non-profit organizations with the ECG model. First, this connection is manifested in a theoretical way. This paper is going to analyze how such alliances can contribute to increasing the values of the ECG model: human dignity, solidarity and social justice, environmental sustainability, and transparency and codetermination. Afterwards, this work analyzes two cases of this type of alliance—Grupo Vips-Fundación Hazlo Posible and Danone Foods-Grameen Bank—to determine the benefits that this type of cooperation can provide to society. We study their motives and the benefits that they bring to the organizations and the community. Therefore, this work assesses how these types of alliances influence the different topics included in the Common Good Matrix. Moreover, we conduct a comparative analysis between both cases. This work demonstrates that, by implementing this type of strategic alliances, the creation of social value is favored, thus contributing to implementation of the ECG model.
