<br/><br/> The article paper argues that a relevant theory has to explain why resources can be continuously mobilized despite permanent failure. The phenomenon of low-performance-high-persistence organization can be explained by the failure of those in charge of the organization to enforce their prerogatives in running the organisation. Due to the fact that non-profit institutions are relatively remote from both fiscal auditing and public attention, they provide a stable environment for successful failure. Ideologies help reconcile them with their interests in failure rather than with efficient performance
