Are you wanting research links to assist in your project or are you
requesting a completed Masters dissertation?

Hello there edet!

This is a very interesting topic and as luck would have it, I happen
to have a copy of a report called "Corporatisation of the Nonprofit
Sector: Strategic Planning and Organisational Performance in
Disability-Based Organisations" by Harvey E Griggs.  I believe this
was obtained from the University of Tasmania, school of management,
website (the school is located in Australia).  I recall that this
report was quite difficult to locate due to the fact that it was
written in Australia and the website is not well known.

The report starts with an Abstract section, followed by an intro, then
background (divided into Strategic Planning, then Organisational
Performance, Literature Review) followed by methodology (divided into
design, then samples) and then Results.  The discussion section covers
Strategic planning and organisational performance, strategic planning
and organisational size, and strategic planning and organisational
location.  After the discussion, finally a conclusion and then a long
list of references.  At the very end, figures and tables that the
report refers to (ie figure 1, table 1, table 2) are attached.
The report is quite extensive and I hope it will assist your research
immensely.
I have uploaded the report to this address:
http://whsc.hypermart.net/20_04pap.pdf
If you wish to have the text of the report uploaded as a document or
HTML format, please request it through the "Request clarification of
answer" option.
If you have any further questions or would like any clarification,
please feel free to ask.

Thank you and best regards,

apologies; I hope this delay is acceptable with you.
