Stakeholder and agency theories hold special application to the nonprofit industry. Nonprofit managers struggle with sustainability and capacity building which are impacted by a lack of assessment capability. This lack of capability arises from motivations and background which place focus on simplistic measures of success, namely program spending versus overhead spending. The purpose of this study was to address this problem which has impacted the nonprofit industry by first, exploring the of personal and industry driven strenuously motivators behind a cursory approach to risk and opportunity assessement. Second, the industry paradigm of loosely constructed goals results in the failure to use performance measurement best practices. The research methodology was a qualitative case study which relied on a focus group session augmented with two surveys. This methodology was employed to explore real-world contexts behind resource allocation decisions. The method also sought to garner a rich understanding of how past experience has impacted management behaviors. The participants included board members, financial professionals and managers from a large nonprofit in North Carolina. The result of the study pointed to a lack of exposure to innovative environments and the paradigm of industry practices (which lack transparency and connection of mission to measurable activities) as the force in a failure to adopt best practices. These findings related to the research questions of nonprofit manager motivators and experience address the problems of competition for and deployment of scare resources. This results in lost opportunities for the advancement of societal improvements. The study points to new areas to focus upon which could lead to more effective use of nonprofit resources. Recommendations for future research include an expansion of what drives innovation in organizations, how existing industry paradigms can be changed and whether nonprofits would benefit from their own set of approaches towards success.
