Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The study examined impact of networking on healthcare service delivery of selected NGOs in southwestern Nigeria, most especially their ability to collaborate effectively in order to cocreate significant social and economic values. Also is the improvement on their value propositions resulting from their partnership with other organisations. A census-based survey of NGOs that provide healthcare services were made, to sample a total of seven registered NGOs utilized for the study. A total number of 548 copies of questionnaire were administered on both the selected NGO officials and their beneficiaries. Data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistical tools, and inferential statistical tools of Chi-square Test of Independence, the Cramer’s phi coefficients, Contingency coefficients and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Findings revealed that networking enabled NGOs circumvent resource constraints, expand operational scope and improve value proposition of their innovations.
