Organizational portfolio theory and international not-for-profit organizations

The organizational portfolio theory is used to explain performance-driven organizational changes in international not-for-profit organizations. The forces that push international not-for-profit organizations to adapt are those that exacerbate the effect of the downward swing in organizational performance that results from misfit. On the other hand, the forces that retard adaptive change in these organizations are those that counteract the effect of the downward swing in organizational performance that results from misfit. Each of seven factors analyzed may push the international not-for-profit organizations to adapt or to not adapt, depending on their effect on organizational performance.
