“…A developing stream of literature on nonprofits and hybridity suggests that the boundaries between nonprofits and other organisational types (private firms and public sector agencies) are becoming increasingly blurred (Billis, 2010;Mullins et al, 2012). In the traditional view of the three sector economy, organisations can be distinguished by the (financial) resources on which they rely.…”

This paper explores whether nonprofits are increasingly adopting mixed revenue strategies, and the sustainability of these strategies over time. We constructed a panel using NCCS (National Centre for Charitable Statistics) data from 1998 and 2007, and divided nonprofits into three groups: commercial, donative and mixed revenue. We found no evidence that nonprofits are increasingly adopting mixed revenue strategies. Mixed revenue strategies appeared less sustainable over time than predominately commercial or predominately donative strategies. Our results suggest that for most nonprofits, relying predominately on either commercial or donative revenue is a more stable equilibrium than attempting to achieve a balanced revenue mix. Exceptions may be those nonprofits, such as arts organisations, where there is a natural alliance between donors and customers.

“…Organizational forms that straddle institutionalized sectoral logics are labelled 'hybrid' and are found in a range of constellations such as private-public (Jay 2013;Lehner and Nicholls 2014), private-non-profit, and public-non-profit hybrids (Seibel 2015). Social enterprises, such as Cafédirect, are a classic hybrid (Battilana and Lee 2014;Dees and Elias 1998;Billis 2010) and are found in many industries such as, microfinance (Khavul 2010), energy (Rogers et al 2012), retailing (Wilson and Post 2013), food (Doherty and Tranchell 2007), housing (Mullins et al 2012), and health care (Santos et al 2015). Battilana and Lee (2014, p. 397) introduce the concept of "hybrid organizing", defined as the activities, structures, processes, and meanings by which organizations make sense and combine multiple institutional logics.…”

This paper investigates the difficulties of creating economic, social, and environmental values when operating as a hybrid venture. Drawing on hybrid organizing and sustainable business model research, it explores the implications of alternative forms of business model experimented with by farmer owned, fairtrade social enterprise Cafédirect. Responding to changes and challenges in the market and societal environment, Cafédirect has tried multiple business model innovations to deliver on all three forms of value capture, with differing levels of success. This longitudinal case study, therefore, provides a contribution to our understanding of how business models enact hybrid mission, providing a platform for triple-bottom-line value capture. In doing so, we are able to expand on the normative understandings of integrating hybrid objectives, and the complications of multiple types of value capture.

“…In addition, privatization policies have weakened the foundation of social renting with home ownership and private rental sectors policies being promoted as better options (Ronald 2013). At the same time, social housing has become more diversified to include social forms of home ownership and hybridized in terms of finance, construction and management (Czischke 2009;Mullins et al 2012).…”

The term 'affordable housing' has been rapidly gaining currency over the last decade across Europe, both in policy and research circles. While it is often used as a synonym or close relative of the term 'social housing', more recently it is finding its own definition and policy instruments in specific cities and countries. However, boundaries between both concepts remain unclear. To shed light on recent developments of each of these terms, this paper presents findings from a study commissioned by the European Investment Bank, which investigated current trends in definitions, programmes and policies both in social housing and affordable housing. This paper focuses on findings for England, Italy, Poland and The Netherlands. Methods used included desk research and interviews with key informants in each of the four countries. In addition, in-depth information about Italy and The Netherlands was gathered through stakeholder workshops carried out between September and November 2016. Findings show that affordable housing in all four countries is becoming a more distinct field, in parallel to developments in social housing. In addition, the paper describes some innovative policies undertaken to develop affordable housing solutions. The paper concludes with a reflection on scenarios for future policy developments and an agenda for further research.
