Cases in Nonprofit Management: A Hands-On Approach to Problem Solving - Paperback

by Pat Libby (Author), Laura Deitrick (Author)

The second edition of Case Studies in Nonprofit Management: A Hands-On Approach to Problem Solving consists of briefly written, story-form original cases that are designed to teach students how to think critically, hone their decision-making skills, and learn to apply leadership and management principles that are essential for any nonprofit professional.

These case studies illustrate the multifaceted challenges of leading a nonprofit, bringing concepts like board and executive leadership, managing people, risk management, AI and technology integration, financial and fundraising strategy, ethics, and advocacy to life. The cases are brief, narrative in style, and easily digestible, compelling students to use critical thinking skills to devise an outcome. They also provide opportunities for students to view situations from the vantage points of multiple stakeholders. These cases can be used for homework assignments, online discussion boards, or as part of an in-class exercise. In addition, the authors have organized the book by topic headings that were most common to prominent nonprofit management texts.
