Not-for-profit organizations(NFPs) in nowadays turbulent environments are faced with both the opportunities and threats in view of survivability, competitiveness, and interdependence through their strategies which may manage their environments, similar to for-profit organizations(FPs). NFPs are affected by various environmental forces rather than FPs, in some aspects.
At first, we review theoretical perspectives on the organizational environments and strategies proposed by the workers related with the theories of organizational environments. And then, we consider the environmental management strategies which can be adopted by NFPs based on the proposed organizational strategies.
In this study, we intend to propose the characteristics of environmental strategies which can be adopted and applied by NFPs. In addition to the environmental strategies of organizations from related studies, the characteristics from reviews on other environmental strategies of NFPs are proposed with for the advanced ideas.
