A repertoire of six different ideal type constructs is presented adding to and reformulating existing theories, which have primarily focused on the "market” and the "firm.” This new extended theoretical platform builds both on theories discussing market, organization, and governmental "failures” and on approaches where homo economicus is replaced by homo complexicus and transactions by interactions. This effort aims at making the nonprofit (or voluntary) sector in society both more visible and theoretically substantiated. At the end of this paper, the theoretical framework is applied by analyzing empirical nonprofit organizations.
