Abstract:

Societies around the world are desperately seeking new approaches in the arenas traditionally dominated by public and nonprofit service providers. This social sector commonly accounts for a significant portion of any developed economy. Though the character and extent of the social sector varies over time and from one country to the next, it typically includes large segments of education, health care, social services, and the arts. We seem to be at a point in history when many societies are looking to reinvent their social sectors, often with the idea of adopting some of the virtues attributed to the business world.
