    ‘Help, I need somebody!’: Exploring who founds new nonprofits
    (2021-11-23) Andersson, Fredrik; Walk, Marlene
    Recent research suggest that the founding of a new nonprofit is seldom an activity done in solitude, rather, new nonprofits emerge from the efforts and contributions of multiple individuals working together as a team. Yet, to date we know very little about these collective efforts to start new nonprofits, especially during the earliest, nascent, stage of the founding process. This research note draws on survey data from 69 early-stage nonprofit founders to examine how many individuals are involved during the nascent stage of founding, who these individuals are, how they are related, and to illustrate how they contribute to the founding process.

    The Next Big Thing: Empowering Campus Entrepreneurs
    (The Charleston Conference, 2018-11-07) Braun, Amy; Howard, Heather A.; Macy, Katharine V.; Seeman, Corey; Vaaler, Alyson S.; Ward, Kristi
    "Entrepreneurial skills used to only be taught in the business school classroom. However, with global entrepreneurship on the rise, business innovation is no longer confined to traditional business programs. Generally, this is where business librarians can make valuable connections with the campus community. Having supported aspiring entrepreneurs for years, these librarians are now serving the larger campus community by teaching non-business majors to use specialized business-library resources. Please join us for a question and answer-style session with five librarians who will discuss how they support aspiring student entrepreneurs on their campuses, including what library resources meet known demand and how to market those resources beyond the business school. They will also share ways for the library to become a central hub for entrepreneurial development. Areas of discussion include: What role can the library play in supporting entrepreneurship across campus, specifically for non-business students, alumni, and community members? As the social entrepreneurship movement grows, how are libraries supporting those needs? What resources do students need to support their start-up ambitions? What role can librarians play in entrepreneurship competitions on their campuses?

    Riverside Watershed Environmental Living Lab Systems (RWELLS): Water and Energy Project Development
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2012-04-13) Iseley, Tom
    Climate change, carbon emissions, water, energy and jobs are global concerns, and inner city neighborhoods are severely impacted. To meet these challenges requires grassroots participation from the residents of these neighborhoods, businesses/industries, city governments, utilities, and academic institutions. While there are many excellent public and private programs to assist urban neighborhood residents, RWELLS is unique because it will involve neighbors helping neighbors in developing long-term sustainable solutions in which they have ownership. This initiative will instill hope back into families because it will create jobs through entrepreneurship. Solving problems related to climate change, carbon emissions, water and energy can create opportunities and result in new business start-ups. RWELLS will demonstrate how solving these problems can lead to new solutions, best practices, new jobs, etc. RWELLS is expected to become a nation and international model of a futuristic neighborhood with a goal of zero leakage of their water and sewer lines. This will be done by establishing a strategic and tactical water asset management program. The objective of RWELLS is to demonstrate a new model where IUPUI will work closely with the neighborhood leaders, residents, and families to start up and operate businesses to meet the major global challenges mentioned previously. A major focus will be to assist women and minorities who will own and operate these businesses. RWELLS will serve as a center of excellence for neighborhood, municipal and utility leaders to join with industry and researchers, using sound science to evaluate watershed, environmental and energy related issues to develop futuristic neighborhoods and cities which are energy neutral and free of contamination and pollution benefiting all stakeholders by protecting public health, improving the environment, maximizing asset life-cycle value, sustaining economic development, and enhancing the quality of life.

    What constitutes a new nonprofit? Investigating nonprofit organizational founding dates
    (2021) Levine Daniel, Jamie; Andersson, Fredrik O.
    We contend that the question of when a new nonprofit is founded has not been pursued with sufficient precision. Specifically, a fundamental challenge facing any nonprofit researcher planning to detect, isolate, and analyze new nonprofits is that nonprofit founding is a process, not a discrete event. We use administrative data that includes three different founding indicators from more than 4,000 arts organizations, supplemented with survey data from 242 organizations, to illustrate some of the problems inherent in treating the founding process as one discrete event. We also elevate the voices of founders to demonstrate their conceptualization of the concept and offer insights into the multidimensionality of founding.

    Win-Win Negotiation
    (Wolters Kluwer, 2015-05) Meek, Julie A.; Department of Nursing, IU School of Nursing
    Negotiation skills are some of the most important competencies one can develop. Negotiation is called into play when the parties in the discussion want different decisions, outcomes, or actions. People may face these discussions with fears of losing advantage, being bullied or failing to get the help or resources needed to accomplish a goal. Worse yet, some individuals may feel that other important outcomes are at stake such as losing approval and support. The definition of a win-win negotiation is that a fair compromise can be reached where both parties feel good about the solution as well as their continuing relationship moving forward. This article outlines some of the considerations when developing one’s negotiation competencies.
