Abstract | Purpose – Very little systematic research has reviewed the applicability of strategic management concepts including SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis, industrial organisation (I/O), resource-based view (RBV), knowledge-based view (KBV), balanced scorecard (BSC) and intellectual capital (IC) in the non-profit context. The main objective of this paper is to examine the above concepts in the light of the unique non-profit environment in the knowledge economy and determine which one is most applicable to non-profit organisations (NPOs). Design/methodology/approach – This paper reviews the strategic management literature with a focus of the above concepts within the non-profit context. Findings – The IC concept is more effective as compared to other strategic management concepts within the non-profit context. IC is an important resource that NPOs need to develop in order to gain sustained strategic advantages. Originality/value – The paper is considered as a starting point and serves as a milestone in applying IC as a strategic management conceptual framework in the non-profit sector. Also, the paper informs non-profit leaders that IC is the most appropriate strategic management concept in the non-profit sector. |
