The rapidly growing trend of higher education programs specially
tailored for managers of nonprofit agencies is no more than fifteen
years old, but now these programs include thousands of students at
nearly one hundred universities and colleges worldwide. Business
management education developed at the turn of the century, and
public management began education in the 1930s; now nonprofit
management education is emerging in a comparable way. This book
charts the growth of and addresses the major issues and
controversies surrounding this new field. The collection includes
both academics and practitioners reporting their research findings
and experiences with nonprofit management education. Major issues
include the growth of nonprofit management as an academic field,
the academic and political problems facing the field, curricular
and instructional issues including new technologies such as
distance learning, and the debate over whether such programs should
be housed in schools of business, public administration, or in
their own separate programs. The book also explores ways and means
by which nonprofit management education can most effectively serve
nonprofit practitioners.
