<p>In non-profit organizations, surplus of the organization goes back to the organization's members. We have noted that Hyresgästföreningen initiated a change in 2005 when the organization merged its local membership registries to a national registry. There are few studies explaining how non-profit organizations are using management in an organizational change. What happens with the business management at an organizational change that is similar to the change in Hyresgästföreningen? The aim of this thesis is to explore how the governance of a nonprofit organization is changing at an organizational change. We have interviewed three people with different positions within the organization, who have been active throughout the process of change. This paper shows that the goals and objectives are important for all employees in order to think along the same lines. We have seen that budgeting is important to set goals and the non-financial objectives can be seen in non-profit organizations. In Hyresgästföreningen, the quality criteria are important. We can see that management uses more of the dimensions of organizational change - both financial and non-financial - and that management has a more central role for example in budgeting and management of strategic issues. Management has changed to become more fierce, by the developed quality criteria and partly because the organization uses more measuring and control than before the change.<strong></strong></p>
