17/12/2025

The research contribution by Christian Grünhaus, Julian Kettl, Lukas Pascher, and Karoline Schuster was published in the WM Journal.

The research contribution published in the WM journal for Association and Nonprofit Management examines the introduction of impact-based management in the area of "Emergency Assistance" of the Caritas of the Archdiocese of Vienna. Instead of the previous focus on services and efficiency, a system is developed that makes the impacts on clients visible and usable for management decisions. The multi-stage implementation process includes the definition of impact goals, the development of indicators, and the pilot phase of implementation, demonstrating how impact-based management can be successfully implemented in a large, heterogeneous organization.
