| Review | "Academic curricula designed specifically for the nonprofit sector are becoming more and more common in business schools around the world. This development alone reflects the importance and validity that the sector has earned." "Governments everywhere are 'downsizing'. This process has inevitably shifted services that were once the province of government to nongovernmental entities. If NGOs are to fill the void left by government, they must not only achieve excellence in their substantive field, but must also be capable of delivering services using sound business practices. Otherwise, they are doomed to failure." |
| Summary | "The future of these organizations will depend upon their ability to manage their resources efficiently. The topics covered in this volume, provide basic 'survival tactics' for small organizations with limited staff and resources. The practical advice given by the author will contribute to the sustainability of the many NGOs in developing and transition economy countries that are struggling to succeed under challenging odds."--Jacket |
