Research Programme
The ISDM Knowledge and Research Centre seeks to document and collaborate on direct and suggested knowledge in order to support successful Development Management practices in Social Purpose Organisations (SPOs). It recognises the minute distinction between management in the commercial domain and management in the social impact sector. Because of the complexities of development work, leaders must negotiate vagueness and discover acceptable answers, which involves a scientifically-driven and shared process of knowledge co-creation, collation, and selection. This method seeks to create a coherent and solid Body of Knowledge (BoK) on Development Management (DM) that matures, remains relevant, and is consistent with the accepted principles and universal values of social sector participation.
