The Balanced Scorecard (BSC), when it reaches its maximum potential, is a strategic management system mainly usedby companies. However, with some adjustments, it can be used by Non-profit Organizations (NPO). Its use, in this case,needs to be further investigated. The article reports the experience and lessons learned from using BSC in an academiclab for sixteen months. The process included initial planning, three rounds of performance measurement and a finalplanning review. Entrepreneurial BSC, with some adjustments, was adequate for strengthening laboratory’s identity,for performance measurement and results reporting, although not reaching, during the experiment period, the maturityof a strategic management system.

Both profit oriented organizations and non profit oriented organizations requires relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information in financial statements presented. Moreover, the non profit organizations, which the largest source of funding is donated from donors, the possibility of fraud becomes bigger. It is usually done by several parties, even by the management itself. Therefore, the diclosure of relevant, reliable, comparable, and understandable financial statements, are necessary done by the non profit organizations.

The Analysis and Synthesis of Strategic Management Research in the Third Sector from Early 2000 Through to Mid-2009The purpose of this paper is to analyse the contemporary literature on strategic management in non-profit organizations. The area at hand is divided into five categories: modern management and strategic management approaches/theories; analysis of the roles of externalities and internalities in the Third Sector; review of how strategic management has been applied for non-profit organizations; review of applications and enhanced identification of one or more strategies utilised by non-profit organizations; application of specific methods and tools in strategic management. Four dilemmas faced by modern management theory serve as a synthetic axis. First, how can the existing commercial management concepts and techniques be best adapted to the realities of the non-profit sector? Secondly, which of the established schools of strategic management is the most relevant one for non-profits? In fact, is it appropriate to look for a brand new school of thought? Thirdly, and this is again related to academic pursuits, what coherent theory can explain the efficiency of non-profit organizations. Fourthly, there is the dilemma what strategy to employ when faced with a choice between the willingness and the need to apply competitive strategies and the co-operative strategy in the third sector.

The socioeconomic changes that many countries have been experiencing in recent decades, caused by structural factors or by specific circumstances, where the pandemic crisis of COVID-19 is only the most recent example, have posed challenges to organizations, which present themselves more and more and in various forms as threatened by the possibility of fulfilling their mission. Public and private sectors increasingly present themselves as insufficient to respond effectively to day-to-day requests. This context of instability and the resulting impacts for non-profit organizations pose serious problems to the way in which governance is exercised and served as a motivation for carrying out a study that aimed to understand the influence of strategy and human resources on the governance of these organizations. A review of the literature on the variables under study made it possible to identify the sub-dimensions associated with each one of them and the respective indicators. Thus, for a quantitative study, it was possible to apply a questionnaire to 242 Holy Houses of Mercy in Portugal to understand the direct and indirect influences of strategic management and human resources management on the governance of these institutions. The results obtained show the existence of a positive relationship between the variables under analysis, confirming that not only do these variables influence, by themselves and directly, the governance of the institutions studied, but also the strategy influences human resources policies, which in turn have implications for the way the Holy Houses of Mercy deal with aspects associated with governance. It is concluded that, in general, for these organizations to be more effective in efforts to improve their governance processes, they must focus on strategic management and human resources management instruments.
