Instead there are various smaller umbrella organisations taking on similiar duties in the numerous, more narrowly defined interest areas. This situation arguably weakens the political influence of the sector and might also lead to inefficiencies in operational activities. Despite this, it is unknown why such an umbrella organisation has not been foundet and no existing research has been found. Therefore, conducting research on this matter could provide insights into the current structure of the sector, how it could be improved and what organisational approaches a possible sector-wide umbrella organisation would have to take.en330 - WirtschaftUmbrella Organisation for Swiss NPOs in the Social Sector11 - Studentische Arbeit
