Abstract:
An issue that plagues the analysis of for-profit and not-for-profit enterprises remains the effect of
management on firm performance. Numerous financial tests have been devised to gauge the performance
of the for-profit sector. Not-for-profit organizations have adopted many of the commercial sector’s
accounting/financial techniques to ascertain their effectiveness. This quantitative research investigation
investigated the affect that 18 management practices had on the performance of for-profit firms and
NPOs in southeast, Wisconsin. The examination revealed that management practices did not have a
statistically significant impact on the economic performance of for-profit firms and a strongly significant
influence on not-for-profit organizations.
