Answer preview

The stakeholders’ conflicting interests constrain strategic planning in a non-profit organization (NPO). Selecting the appropriate tools to reinforce the interest is a major issue since their goals are unique from those of the public and the private sectors. According to Tschirhart and Bielefeld (2012), most NPOs operate in an environment unique from a for-profit organization. Therefore value propositions that influenced the organization’s formation and which influence the employees’ commitment may not be changed easily. In other words, these differences lead to the lack of alignment of the stakeholders to the set goals (Ott, & Dicke, 2016). Moreover, selecting an appropriate model for strategic planning is a major challenge since there is limited literature on the subject focused on NPO.
