Nonprofit Management and Leadership Case Studies

Turning the Tide: Transitioning from Volunteer to Paid Staff

“The authors have crafted useful cases that reflect the contemporary workplace challenges faced by nonprofit administrators. The book deserves a place on the syllabi of all instructors using a case study pedagogy.”– Dr. Lisa A. Dicke, Department of Public Administration, University of North Texas

“This casebook provides students with a comprehensive presentation of relevant issues faced by public and nonprofit practitioners. The thought provoking questions easily facilitate constructive discussions and practical answers. Unlike other casebooks, this informative text contains numerous examples and case studies to analyze in the area of nonprofit sector management and leadership.”– Dr. Karabi C. Bezboruah, School of Urban and Public Affairs, University of Texas at Arlington

As an aid to instructors in selecting cases, management and policy topics are alphabetically arranged in the Index of Topics. This listing ties each case to the major and minor topics which receive emphasis. The topic listings are followed by the case numbers in which they are addressed.

Case Histories Keyed To Topics

An additional learning tool which lists the cases by number and title according to the table of contents and topics emphasized in the cases.

Index of Names, Positions, and Organizational Types

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

Each case is accompanied by a set of questions and instructions intended to stimulate thinking and discussion about the problems under consideration. This case analysis and learning assessment is printed on perforated pages and may be removed from the book for time-saving evaluation purposes.

Timelines

A timeline following each case helps students accurately order the major case events to learn how the timing of these events influenced the ultimate outcome.

Mental Jogger

Following each case is a mental jogger section which allows learners to note ideas they want to remember or discuss in class.

Personal Reflections

Each case contains a section for additional notes and observations as well as a section for personal reflections where students can write topics or concerns to be addressed in other case analyses.
