The non-profit governance literature is emerging, multilevel, and disparate. This chapter provides a critical review of the scholarly literature on non-profit governance, identifies the distinctive and currently most important theoretical frameworks in the field, and outlines the models of good non-profit governance that have emerged, discussing their main traits. The chapter also examines the positions and roles ascribed in the literature to constituents, stakeholders, and other claimant groups involved in non-profit organisations and develops a novel approach to distinguishing between analytically different categories of claimants. The approach is proposed as a tool for future non-profit governance research. After acknowledging the limitations of its scope and identifying upcoming issues in non-profit governance, the chapter concludes with discussion of three lacunae in the current scholarship on non-profit governance that need to be addressed.

Listed corporations have been at the centre of corporate governance research and professional concern. Yet, organisational diversity reflecting a wide range of corporate forms and an evolving understanding of the corporation’s social role have broadened the scope of corporate governance beyond the listed firm. This chapter synthesises the preceding chapters’ findings. Starting with a discussion of different theoretical approaches, the chapter demonstrates the need to reflect on the applicability of the principal–agent theory to organisational forms such as non-profits and social enterprises with multiple stakeholders. Afterwards, the varying needs for corporate governance are discussed, thereby pointing to how existing models and approaches play out in different organisational contexts. The chapter concludes with implications for the development of corporate governance, derived from this volume’s comparative analysis.
