Abstract:
The paper analyzes differences in the organizational, structural and strategic behavior of Non-Profit Organizations and For-Profit Organizations in Israel which provide home care services for the frail elderly. In contrast to other studies which have analyzed differences between institutions delivering various social services in the profit and non-profit sectors, this paper focuses on those organizations supplying home care services in the community. The findings suggest that NPO's have qualitative and operational advantages over FPO's.
