Abstract: This book offers a model for managing nonprofit organizations and illustrates it with several case studies. The strategy-structure- systems approach to managing a business enterprise is modified to include a purpose-process-people centered approach that is more relevant for nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit organizations need this modified approach because there are some fundamental differences between business and nonprofit organizations that are explained in the book. As the demand for essential social services is growing and the government budgets to provide such services are shrinking, there is a greater need for social enterprises to be managed more effectively and efficiently. Using case studies and theories of management, we offer a model that is relevant for anyone managing social enterprises.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Nonprofit Organizations need strategies to be effective, but the available tools for making strategy were developed primarily for business organizations. This book provides a model and several case studies for Strategy Making in Nonprofit Organizations. The strategy making model modifies the business practices of Strategy-Structure-Systems for the nonprofit context with a focus on Purpose-Processes-People that is more suitable to meet their unique challenges. In this book, the leaders of nonprofit organizations will find ways to better articulate the challenges that their organizations face for communicating with their business partners, donors and employees. As the demand for essential social services is growing and the budgets are declining, leaders and managers in both Nonprofit and Business organizations need the solutions offered in this book. Nonprofit Organizations face an external environment where demand outstrips their ability to meet it. They face competition in raising funds and resources to provide these services. They rely on processes to harness the creativity of their people in delivering to the triple bottom line of economic, social and environmental impact. This book provides a bridge between business and nonprofit organizations.
