Combination of demographical, religious, racial diversities, and social capital peculiarities that characterize the task environment of a third sector organization. Published in Chapter: Re-Inventing the Social Business Model: New Opportunities for the Third Sector Organizations in Italy Dario Cavenago (University Milano-Bicocca, Italy) and Laura Mariani (University of Bologna – Alma Mater Studiorum, Italy)Source Title: Handbook of Research on Emerging Business Models and Managerial Strategies in the Nonprofit SectorCopyright: © 2017 |Pages: 20 DOI: 10.4018/978-1-5225-2537-0.ch015 Abstract The recent global economic crises and the decline of the traditional welfare state are challenging the development of third sector organisations involved in the provision of public services. With the support of the Italian case and the experiences of different Italian third sector organisations, this contribution highlights how organisational survival and growth require reinvention of the business model, commencing with the concept of social, economic and environmental sustainability. The scope of third sector organisations depends on the type of government, the stage of economic development, the model of civil society, the existence of philanthropic traditions and the law and regulation. All these variables affect the business model of third sector organisations. This chapter contributes to the third sector knowledge in Italy and concludes with a discussion on solutions that are able to incentivize the use of entrepreneurial principles, stimulate networking, cooperation and growth while maintaining the relationship with the territories.
