Produktbeschreibung

SCHEIN, PROFESSOR OF MANAGEMENT, EMERITUS, MIT SLOAN SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT "This book is a must-read for nonprofit executives! The authors spell out the themes, beliefs, and assumptions that are unique to nonprofits, regardless of their size or mission, ultimately revealing how 'culture' manifests itself in organizations." --DARRYL A. JONES, SR., CEO, MARYLAND ASSOCIATION OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS "This is the book that the nonprofit community has needed for a long time.
