Schein, Sloan Fellows Professor of ManagementEmeritus, MIT Sloan School of Management "Stephen Block combines substantial nonprofit chiefexecutive experience with the habits of inquiry and reflectionsometimes developed by achieving a Ph.D. This important book showsthe benefits of applying several theories and concepts from themanagement and social science literature to the tough problemsfaced by nonprofit managers. This book can and will undoubtedly beread and effectively used by those nonprofit managers who face suchproblems as founder's syndrome, poor meeting attendance, andpoor fund raising by board members, rapid staff turnover, andcolleagues who pursue personal advantage at the expense ofothers." --Robert Herman , professor of organizational behavior,Cookingham Institute of Public Affairs, Henry W. Bloch School ofBusiness and Public Administration, University of Missouri-KansasCity "Theories, concepts, frameworks? Seven familiar Problems?What is it that makes Why Nonprofits Fail a 'mustread' for leaders, managers, and board members of nonprofitorganizations? While the subject matter is familiar, Stephen R.Block provides new ways to think about how to engage in effectiveproblem solving. In doing so he effectively takes on the dauntingtask of making theories convincing tools of practice withoutbecoming too academic. His plain spokenness and able use of caseexamples make this book accessible to all readers concerned aboutbuilding successful nonprofit organizations. Block's personalreflective style makes Why Nonprofits Fail an enjoyableread. Hopefully it will also stimulate the kind of carefuldiscussion and application that it deserves." --Suzanne Feeney, associate professor and director, Institutefor Nonprofit Management, Hartfield School of Government, PortlandState UniversityMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
