Abstract:

This volume is unique in two ways:

1. Each chapter examines the aspects of nonprofit organizations that are most important to the critical management activities discussed. In the authors' view, all nonprofit organizations are not alike, nor are they always different from for-profit organizations in the same ways.
   
   
2. Each chapter presents a set of important management concepts and tools derived from both traditional research and the behavior of unusually effective managers. The practical implications of these concepts and tools are given in detail. (p. 8)
