Obtaining sales prospects from customer referrals is a frequently cited means of improving selling time efficiency. This paper examines the utility to a non-profit organization of similarly using referrals in fund-raising efforts. Referrals were found to be more likely to donate than previous non-donors, and were just as likely to contribute as former donors. However, contrary to generally accepted wisdom, current non-donors and donors were equivalently likely to provide referrals. Further-more, those form either source were found to be equally productive leads. Theoretical explanations are discussed.

ABSTRACT This exploratory study presents evidence on the general characteristics, risks, and controls of all non-profit organizations (NPOs) reporting a fraud (asset diversion) between 2009 and 2015. Compared to NPOs that did not report a fraud, the fraud-reporting NPOs were larger, older, more likely to be a 501c3, and urban. Data from the Form 990 provided information on the risks and controls present. Risks were positively associated with higher levels of reported fraud for all sizes of NPOs. However, controls were more often related to lower levels of fraud only for larger NPOs, with the level of controls present increasing with the size of the organization. We also identify new variables that should add to our understanding and also variables used in prior studies that may not have enough variance to add any insight. Based on the results from this study, we provide suggestions for future research. Data Availability: Form 990 data were purchased from and are available from GuideStar. Rural and urban codes were purchased from and are available from GreatData.

Prior research has been relatively withdrawn to study the strategic managementprocess in non-profit organizations, and ignored differences in strategic planning inacademic institutions. In contrast, this paper argues why and how strategic planningmay lead to desired levels of organizational performance in a college or university.We used mixed methodology approach based on content analysis. Our exploratorywork found that higher ranked universities had strategy statement that emphasizedfaculty. Findings highlight the importance of a clearly articulated strategyemphasizing faculty for university ranking on the sample of 203 business schools.We provide evidence that the most successful universities are likely to proactivelyuse and manage strategy statements for attaining higher rankings and attracting morestudents.
