Description: Educating Managers of Non-Profit Organizations examines the question of how to most productively train managers for these complex and diverse organizations whose non-profit basis makes them unsuited to many of the traditional business programs. The presentations are broad-based yet detailed, making this volume valuable to a wide range of readers: managers and policy-makers of non-profit organizations, scholars of managerial education, management program funders, consulting and technical service groups, as well as non-profit organization leaders. The editors have assembled 15 papers from highly prestigious scholars, practitioners, and researchers to present a clear and thorough coverage of the topic. Included are expert articles discussing: the types of non-profit managers; curricula for such managers; differences between non-profit and traditional organizations; the non-profit organization's place in higher education.
