Informationen zum Autor Roger Courtney is a consultant with his own consultancy firm, Courtney Consulting , in Northern Ireland. He has a wealth of managerial experience within the non-profit sector. Klappentext This book fills a niche for a UK/European text which provides a much-needed summation of strategic management issues as they relate to nonprofit organizations. Addressing both the academic theory and current practice of strategic planning and strategic management in relation to this important sector in the UK, Europe and the USA, it serves as a valuable antidote to those general strategy texts which relegate the treatment of nonprofits to their closing chapters or even appendices. The authors assessment of the ways in which this particular sector has responded to recent events - by adapting, borrowing or reinventing key strategies - also represents important reading in its own right.
