My research interests focus on the structure of the nonprofit sector and the unique management challenges facing nonprofit and government organizations. My current nonprofit research focuses on the complex relationships between nonprofits, philanthropic funders, and government organizations, most recently in the context of nonprofit funding of public education and  changes in local United Way systems. My management research focuses on the use of non-bureaucratic methods of coordination and control in contemporary organizations, drawing upon concepts of public service motivation, values management and complexity science.
