Special Lecture on Social Welfare IV (NPO Theory)

社会福祉学特講ＩＶ（NPO論）

The Law for the Promotion of Specified Nonprofit Activities enacted in 1998 has contributed to the development of NPOs, but there are also social welfare corporations, school corporations, foundations, incorporated associations, and other nonprofit organizations. In this lecture, we will examine nonprofit organizations in general in relation to social welfare practice.

行政や民間企業でもない第3セクターとしてのNPOの実践が広く関心を集めている。1998年に成立した特定非営利活動促進法はNPO法人の発展に寄与したが、その他非営利組織には社会福祉法人や学校法人、財団法人、社団法人なども存在する。本講では社会福祉実践との関連から非営利組織全般について検討したい。

Private Nonprofit Organization Accounting

民間非営利組織会計

This course is about accounting for private non-profit organizations (NFPs), which are public benefit, non-profit, and independent organizations, and which have a large economic scale in the U.K. and the U.S. Near Japan, China excels in NFP accounting. The textbook, an award-winning book by the Japan NPO Society, will be used as a springboard for discussion. In order to accurately understand the textbook, it is necessary to read it word for word and come prepared. The class will be both an intellectual education and a moral education rooted in Western ethics. The class format will consist of student reports and a question-and-answer session. In keeping with the Graduate School's policy of integrating education and research, students will be asked to write one report on NFP accounting and give a presentation on it as well.

公益性・非営利性・独立性を持った組織たる民間非営利組織 (NFP) の会計についての授業です。NFPは英米では大きな経済規模を持っており、日本の近くでは中国がNFP会計を得意としています。日本NPO学会受賞作の書籍を教科書とし、議論のたたき台とします。正確に教科書を理解するために、一字一句読んで予習してくることが必要です。知育であるとともに、西洋倫理学に根差すことで徳育の側面も持つ授業にします。授業形式は学生の皆様の報告と質疑応答から成ります。教育と研究を融合させるという本研究科の方針に基づき、NFP会計についてのレポートを1本書いてもらいそのプレゼンテーションもしてもらいます。

NPO Management

NPOマネジメント

A non-profit organization (NPO) is a private, non-profit organization established and operated by citizens working together. They work in diverse fields to solve social problems and provide services for the public good that are difficult for governments and corporations to address. Although it has been more than 20 years since NPOs first appeared in Japan, many of them are still fragile and immature organizations. Even for non-profit organizations, a management perspective is essential to sustain their activities and operations, as well as to continue employment. NPOs, which are supported by a large number of volunteers and supporters, require a different kind of management than government agencies or corporations. The question is whether NPOs will be able to develop through trial and error, without losing sight of their public interest objectives, and through management that is unique to NPOs.

NPO（Non-profit organization）は、市民が協力して設立し運営する民間の非営利組織です。多様な分野で、行政や企業が取り組みにくい社会問題の解決や公益的なサービスに取り組んでいます。日本でNPOが登場してから２０年以上経ちましたが、日本のNPOはいまだにその多くが脆弱で未成熟な組織です。非営利組織であっても、活動や事業を継続するためには、また、雇用を継続するためには、経営という視点は欠かせません。また、多くのボランティアや支援者に支えられるNPOは、行政や企業とは異なるマネジメントが必要です。今後、NPOが、公益的な目的を見失わず、かつ、NPOならではのマネジメントを試行錯誤し、発展していくことができるかどうかが問われています。

NPO Management

NPOマネジメント

Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) are nonprofit organizations established and operated by citizens, working in diverse fields to solve social problems and provide services for the public good that are difficult for governments and corporations to address. Although it has been more than 20 years since NPOs first appeared in Japan, many of them are still fragile and immature organizations. Even for non-profit organizations, a management perspective is essential to continue their activities and operations, as well as to sustain employment. NPOs, which are supported by a large number of volunteers and supporters, require management that differs from that of governments and corporations. In the future, the question is whether NPOs will be able to develop through trial and error, without losing sight of their public interest objectives, and through management that is unique to NPOs. In this class, students will first understand the reality of NPOs and their social significance. We will then examine the characteristics and challenges of NPO management (organizational operations, finances, employment and volunteers) and the relationship between NPOs and other sectors (government and business). It is important for students to deepen their understanding and awareness of various issues in contemporary society that NPOs address through the class. Each session will consist of a lecture on a specific theme, and students will be asked to submit a reaction paper (impressions and questions) on an optional basis for each session. Questions will be commented on at the beginning of the next class.
We would like to ask students who have experience in NPO activities to present their activities as appropriate, so please be proactive and offer to do so. (Objectives) ・Understand the meaning of NPOs and their social significance.
To understand the actual situation of NPOs and their management characteristics.
To examine the management issues of NPOs.
To consider the significance of the existence of NPOs and the challenges they face in their activities and development.
Through the issues that NPOs have been tackling, students will gain an awareness of social changes and the challenges of modern society.
Through NPOs, students will consider what direction civil society should take in the future and how each citizen should relate to society.

NPO（Nonprofit Organization）は、市民によって設立・運営される非営利組織で、多様な分野で、行政や企業が取り組みにくい社会問題の解決や公益的なサービスに取り組んでいます。日本でNPOが登場してから２０年以上経ちましたが、日本のNPOはいまだにその多くが脆弱で未成熟な組織です。非営利組織であっても、活動や事業を継続するためには、また、雇用を継続するためには、経営という視点は欠かせません。また、多くのボランティアや支援者に支えられるNPOは、行政や企業とは異なるマネジメントが必要です。今後、NPOが、公益的な目的を見失わず、かつ、NPOならではのマネジメントを試行錯誤し、発展していくことができるかどうかが問われています。この授業では、まずNPOの実態や社会的意義を理解します。そして、NPOのマネジメント（組織運営、財政、雇用やボランティア）の特性や課題、NPOと他のセクター（行政や企業）との関係について考察します。授業を通して、NPOが取り組む現代社会の様々な課題についても理解を深め、問題意識をもつことが重要です。各回ごとに、テーマにそった講義を行い、毎回、リアクションペーパー（感想・質問）を任意で提出してもらいます。質問については、次回の授業の冒頭でコメントします。
受講生の中でNPO活動経験者等には、適宜、活動の発表をしてもらいたいと思いますので、積極的に申し出てください。 (目標)・NPOの意味や社会的意義について理解する。
・NPOの実態やマネジメントの特性を理解する。
・NPOのマネジメントの課題を考察する。
・NPOの存在意義や、NPOが活動・発展する上での課題を考える。
・NPOが取り組んできた課題を通して、社会の変化や現代社会の課題について問題意識をもつ。
・NPOを通じて、今後の市民社会はどのような方向に進むべきか、また市民一人ひとりが、社会とどのように関わるべきかを考える。

NPO Theory

NPO論

In recent years, the role and significance of NPOs in society has been increasing year by year. This course is not only a basic overview of what NPOs are, but also focuses on "researching, thinking and communicating". The lecturers will introduce a wealth of real-life examples, including their own experiences and examples of collaboration with corporations, and through exercises and presentations, the class will examine the challenges and achievements of actual NPO activities, their future role in society, and the significance of their existence, rather than generalities. The lecture plan is subject to change without notice.

近年その社会的役割や存在意義が、年々増大しつつあるNPOについて、NPOとはどういうものかという基本的な概論の講座だけではなく、”自分で調べ考え、他に伝える”ことを重点に授業を行います。講師の実体験、企業との協働事例など豊富な実例を紹介と演習及びそのプレゼンテーションの作成と発表により、一般論ではなく実際のNPO活動の課題や成果、今後の社会的役割と存在意義を考察します。※講義計画については、都合により変更がある場合もあります。

Management of NPOs

NPOの経営

NPOs (Non Profit Organizations), or non-profit organizations, can take many forms. Their common characteristic is that they make a difference to people, unlike private corporations that pursue profit while satisfying the needs of their customers, or governments that formulate and implement policy. Nonprofit organizations are straightforwardly self-fulfilling and require a high degree of management because they must draw on the strengths of volunteers.

NPO (Non Profit Organization)、すなわち非営利組織は、多様な形態を取り得る。その共通の特徴は、顧客のニーズを満たすとともに営利を追求する私企業とも、政策を立案・実行する政府とも異なり、人を変えるということである。非営利組織はストレートに自己実現の場であり、ボランティアの力を引き出さなければならないからこそ、高度にマネジメントを必要とする場でもある。
