The Australian aged care industry was once dominated by non-profit organisations but recently ownership has changed significantly with the entry of for profit and in particular private equity investment vehicles. This paper provides an overview of the main players and the effects of private equity on the Australian aged care sector. The analysis is framed within the literature which examines the relationship between ownership type and the quality of community services. It also presents a series of case studies which suggest that a change of ownership from non-profit to private equity may have significant consequences for the quality of service provision.

The recent focus on business practices under neo-liberal economic policies has seen a resurgence of issues about the place and importance of ethics and values. This paper extracts the key components from the literature in order to build a model of value based business operations founded on the concepts of value pluralism and practical wisdom. Furthermore, it suggests a teaching method that incorporates both the individual and organisational perspectives of values and ethics that can be integrated in the pedagogy of university and organisational training.

It is well known that human resource is the core component in nonprofit organizations, for mission driven organizations relies on their employees to deliver the services that nonprofit stakeholders expect. The understanding of issue why do people or what sort of persons choose to work in nonprofit sector goes prior to the competitive strategies nonprofit organizations should adopt to enlist the desirable employees not only in quantity but in quality. The paper begins with an idea that the nonprofit sector shall have its own landscape of the individuals and their service motivations distinctive from those in the for-profit and public sectors, and then follows an argument that egoism is the other side of the nonprofit coin based on analysis at both organization-level and individual-level. Finally, different from the conventional framework such as dichotomy of extrinsic and intrinsic supported by many scholars, a new analytical matrix is advocated, which categorizes the gene of individual into four types, which would help to understand the real demands underneath the individuals+ option to work in nonprofit sector.

Recruitment practices play a key role in organisational success (Cable & Judge, 1996). Designing an effective recruitment advertisement is critical in establishing the first link to appropriate potential employees (Backhaus, 2004). A consistent finding is that people join, succeed and stay with organisations where there is a strong alignment between the organisational culture and values and the individual s values and direction. People seek jobs with employers whose moral values match their own (Scott, 2000). It is a key in the perfect match.
