Overview

Managing Nonprofit Organizations Managing Nonprofit Organizations offers a comprehensive treatment of the key topics in nonprofit management for practitioners, professors, and students in both graduate and undergraduate courses. The first of its kind, this volume will serve as both text and handbook and will be supplemented with online materials and additional cases. Tschirhart and Bielefeld, two of the top scholars in nonprofit management bring theory and practice together in a cohesive way so readers are both informed and interested. The core topics included mirror the topics covered in nonprofit/social venture survey courses, such as: nonprofit organizations and social entrepreneurship; organizational design and management; managing in a dynamic stakeholder environment; the founding impulse, the nonprofit business case; innovation, change and growth; nonprofit closure, conversion and merger; organizational design; the executive director and staff (paid and volunteer), board governance; membership, financial resources and attraction of fees, contracts, grants, and donations; strategic partnerships and affiliations, strategic planning and decision-making; programming and marketing, public relations and communications, relationships with government; and evaluation of nonprofit organizations. Special attention will be paid to social entrepreneurship (as this could be used as a primary text in courses focused on this topic) and the inclusion of international cases throughout (to acknowledge globalization and attract international audiences). Online materials will include cases, discussion questions, and more.
