Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This e-book is dedicated to performance measurement and performance management within the third sector. Throughout the last twenty years there has been an exponential rise in the body of knowledge through academic journals, practitioner journals and books on performance measurement. What started in the private sector has since been exported into the public sector through new public management (NPM) and the final frontier is the third sector. Performance measurement and performance management is still in its infancy in this sector and if it is to successfully increase its role in public service delivery, then more research is needed in this vital area. This special edition provides an opportunity to disseminate research into this emerging sector from all around the world. The collection of papers includes research from New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Israel and Germany.
