Thesis (Ph.D.)--Michigan State University, 1994.

Currently the nonprofit sector is experiencing three major problems: (1) decreased funding, (2) little knowledge of the availability in, need for, and use of appropriate technology, and (3) to date, virtually no empirical research addressing the relationship between the product-oriented (i.e., hard) and process-oriented (i.e., soft) technological change process and its relationship to decision-making, and contextual and structural variables in the nonprofit sector.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Currently the nonprofit sector is experiencing three major problems: (1) decreased funding, (2) little knowledge of the availability in, need for, and use of appropriate technology, and (3) to date, virtually no empirical research addressing the relationship between the product-oriented (i.e., hard) and process-oriented (i.e., soft) technological change process and its relationship to decision-making, and contextual and structural variables in the nonprofit sector.
520 $a Thus, the purpose of this study was fourfold: (1) to identify the product-oriented and process-oriented types of technology which are currently available, needed. or used by nonprofit organizations; (2) to examine how decision-making effects the technological change process with respect to product-oriented and process-oriented technology; (3) to understand how the technological change and decision-making processes are related to the nonprofit sector's contextual and structural organizational characteristics; and (4) to determine whether nonprofit human services organizations can be classified and characterized as either a product-oriented or process-oriented organization, or a combination of the two based on their various types of technologies.
520 $a The method used to collect data for this study was the administrating of a primary data collection survey. The survey study was cross-sectional in nature and was administered to 590 nonprofits throughout Michigan that filed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 990 forms in 1990, declaring themselves to be human service organizations.
520 $a The major findings indicate that, from the 22% (N = 110) that were valid returns, computer-based hardware such as desktop computers (85%), laser/ink jet printers (75.2%), and hard drives (88.6%) are currently available. Software, on the other hand, has high availability in organizations: spreadsheets (86.3%), word processing (90.2%), financial/accounting (84.5%), and database management (66.7%) software. Organizational development strategies, such as accounting and bookkeeping, financial management, and grant proposal writing are practiced by 94.9%, 83.7% and 72.4% of the organizations, respectively. Finally, the highest statistically significant correlations exist between product-oriented technology and product-oriented technological change and decision-making. Whereas, on the other hand, the highest statistically significant correlations exist between process-oriented (Organizational Development) technology/techniques and process-based technological change and decision-making.
