Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The chapter relates to the diverse theoretical points addressing the sources and economic aspects defining the formation and behavior of nonprofit organizations. The basic aspects underlying these aspects are the principle of different demands for public goods, assumptions of heterogeneity, the principle of lack of symmetry in information, the theory of consumer control, as well as the interdependence of the economic sectors. The relationship of non profits with other sectors is also discussed.
