The 16 cases that comprise this volume are written in a style that will keep you turning the pages for more—they are THAT fun to read! Each case is designed for maximum educational value, illustrating key management concepts, many of which are unique to the sector. Highlighted are issues relating to fundraising, ethics, governance, personnel management, board-staff relations, and financial management.

These vibrant cases sing with authenticity and plausibility, yet are crafted to be read simply for pleasure. Each case is followed by a series of discussion questions that are guaranteed to engage students in spirited discussion.
