Testimonials from professors who have used case studies from Practicing Public and Nonprofit Management.

“An excellent collection of concise, well-written cases short enough to prevent boredom but detailed enough to allow for correct analysis of management problems.”

“The main strength of the text is the case study approach. This approach forces students to solve problems very like those they will face in the work world. In terms of the realism of the content of the cases, the text is superior. The issues contained in the text cover a broad spectrum of issues confronting the public and nonprofit manager—an advantage when the text is used in a ‘cases’ class or when it is used in an introductory management class.”

This handy reference tool ties the name of characters and their position to the pages of the case studies where they are mentioned.

Case Logs and Administrative Journal Entries

Appendix C of the text includes a set of questions and instructions intended to stimulate thinking and discussion about the problems under consideration. This case analysis and learning assessment may be copied and used with each case.
