Through the writings of scholars, consultants, and practicing executives the text focuses on governing, leading, and managing nonprofit organizations and how such organizations differ from both the public and private sectors. Each of the ten parts opens with a framing essay that identifies the central theme and issues and summarizes the significance of the contribution that each piece makes to the development of knowledge in the field. Completely revised and updated, the third edition includes new articles on legal frameworks, philanthropy, managing volunteers and accountability, as well as an original essay on capacity building. In addition, the third edition features new thought-provoking case studies by C. Kenneth Meyer--making it an extremely student-friendly text for use in graduate and upper-division undergraduate nonprofit organization and management survey courses"--cProvided by publisher. 0aNonprofit organizationszUnited States. 0aVoluntarismzUnited States. 7aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Nonprofit Organizations & Charities.2bisacsh 7aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Affairs & Administration.2bisacsh1 aOtt, J.
