The clarification of the tacit knowledge
to assess
non-profit organizations in Japan
A support center for non-profit organizations is a kind
of intermediary focusing on the information and consultation in non-profit
sector in Japan. This paper examines organizational assessment to Japanese
non-profit organizations with the explicit knowledge transferred from the
tacit knowledge in one grant-making foundation, The Nippon Foundation. In
particular, while such evaluations are based on the more explicit evaluation
criteria of (1) the characteristics of the organization and (2) the characteristics
of the leader from evaluation data of 24 support centers in Japan, the more
tacit and critical evaluation criteria of (3) planning ability and (4) organizational
capability determine the total evaluations. This paper concludes that self-business
approaches are important for the autonomic growth of non-profit organizations.
