Theories, concepts, and real world examples of managerial challenges. Governance systems, strategic management practices, effect of funding environments, management of multiple constituencies. Types of nonprofits using economic/behavioral approaches.
Class Description:
This course focuses on distinctive features of managing and governing nonprofit organizations and draws on current theories, concepts and real world examples to explore particular management and governance challenges. For example, these may include tensions between pursuing the nonprofit's historical mission or responding to dynamic funding markets; the need to be autonomous and avoid mission drift while depending in large part on outside sources of financial support; and questions concerning who does the leading/managing and who does the governing because of the part-time, volunteer nature of boards.
