| Description | Nonprofit organizations play an important and irreplaceable role in building of a civil society. They are one of the main pillars of democracy and bearers of its principles, which can be used to argue both merits of their own existence and an intensive research of the given area on theoretical and practical level. This is closely related to the necessity of studying the issue. The present study text introduces selected actual problem areas in the nonprofit sector and reflects on the current state of knowledge in the field. It is a work of the Masaryk University in Brno (CZ.1.07/ 2.3.00/30.0009) “Employment of Newly Graduated Doctors of Science for Scientific Excellence” and it will serve as a recommended reading in the framework of the course guaranteed by the Department of Public Economics of ESF MU, namely the Economy and Management of Nonprofit Organisations, Selected Issues of the Public Sector, Transformation of the Public Sector, Public Economics, Public Finance, Public Administration and Public Policies, as well as other study courses focused on partial problem areas addressed within the given study text. The text itself is divided into three chapters, namely the nonprofit sector, funding of nonprofit organisations, and social entrepreneurship. This concerns selected issues, which are logically connected and allow us to explain the researched issues in the wider context of interdisciplinary overlaps with other scientific fields. Besides the theoretical background, individual chapters contain relevant empirical data from the author's own research, which vividly illustrate the issues and help to make the text clear, readable and practically usable also outside of the university gates. |
