Abstract

The second chapter situates the current study within a theory-based framework that is put forward for the analysis of NPO-BUS partnerships. The chapter proposes exploring questions in each of the three stages of partnerships: (a) formation, (b) implementation, and (c) outcomes by studying them within the same partnership case study. Employing the three stages of partnerships and associating each stage with particular constructs allows for a holistic and in-depth examination of partnerships. It also allows the analysis to move beyond the stages and stage-based questions towards identifying overarching themes that encompass all stages. The chapter, which is grounded within organisation theory and more specifically the NPO-BUS partnership literature, addresses theoretical issues that play a central role in NPO-BUS partnerships, while at the same time reviews the literature by presenting the findings of indicative studies. The chapter commences with an introduction on the relations between nonprofit organisations and businesses, followed by presenting a classification of the main contributions of the literature. The remaining three sections present the assumptions and questions that this study addresses within its empirical chapters grouped under the three stages of partnerships.
