Abstract
Research background: If globalization presents really a new and not reversible process that creates a more homogenous world, strategies of enterprises should appropriate to this phenomenon, too. European legislation has significantly contributed to the creation of the mutual market and increasing freedom of movement of services within the European Union. Its basic principle can be applied to the harmonization of basic requirements for services and the subsequent normalization – the creation of common European standards. This also applies to the area of non-profit organizations. These organizations are an important part of the public sector, which in the form of various activities, in particular the providing of various services, performs tasks related to addressing manifestations of market imbalances. In contrast to the “traditional” business sector (profit sector), the task of the non-profit sector is not to generate profit but to provide consumer tasks. Purpose of the article: The objective of the article is to clarify and present the specifics of functioning and management of non-profit organizations in the conditions of the Slovak Republic. Methods: During the elaboration of the paper, the methods of compilation of analysis, synthesis and description were used on the basis of the search of the relevant literature. Part of the paper is a survey, which we conducted through a questionnaire on a selected sample of non-profit organizations in the Slovak Republic. Findings & Value added: The results of the survey we have transported into general practice recommendations for non-profit organizations to improve their operating in the conditions of Slovakia while accepting the process of globalization.

Summary
There are more than 69 thousand non-profit organizations in Slovakia and their numbers have been growing. The non-government sector in Slovakia is often in the interaction with many changes. Nonprofit organizations often do not know how will be financed in the long run perspective, as this often depends on current grant projects, which are not long-term oriented. Because of globalization, non-profit organizations must, based on these facts, place greater emphasis on more effective strategic management, which is currently largely based only on the theoretical knowledge of the strategic management of profit-oriented organizations. Non-government sector as well as profit sector need to link their mission, vision, strategy and goals with projects, which they participate in, and need to measure their efficiency. There are many non-profit organizations in Slovakia, which do not pay any attention to strategic management of the organization or very little attention
