In order to gain better and more comprehensive knowledge about how cooperation between voluntary organizations and private companies is taking shape today, about the opportunities and challenges of such cooperation, there is a need for new empirical studies. In this project, an exploratory study is carried out to gain more knowledge about motivations and forms of cooperation between business and volunteering in Norway.
Research questions
- How can private companies and voluntary organizations work together?
- What types of relationships and cooperation exist between Norwegian organizations and companies today?
- How do voluntary organizations and companies experience the cooperation between them?
- What motivates such cooperation and what value does the cooperation have for the parties?
- What challenges can such cooperation bring with it in terms of shifting goals, commercialisation, legitimacy and reputation for the voluntary organisations?
