Aimed specifically at decision-makers and managers working in non-profit-making and charitable organizations, this book helps them apply the principles of good management to their sector. Drawing from the American experience, Drucker illustrates his discussion of management by quoting interviews with top executives from non-profit organizations. The issues of mission, performance, people and relationships, leadership and developing managers are discussed, and Drucker provides action implications throughout the book which are of practical importance to the reader.

Peter F. Drucker is considered the most influential management thinker ever. The author of more than twenty-five books, his ideas have had an enormous impact on shaping the modern corporation. Drucker passed away in 2005.
Drawing from his 25 one-hour audio cassette series, The Non-Profit Drucker ( LJ 9/1/89, p. 232) , Drucker has put together his ideas on the tasks, responsibilities, and practices necessary to manage nonprofit organizations. Included are interviews with prominent leaders and experts in nonprofit organizations, including Philip Kotler of Northwestern University, Max DePree of Herman Miller, Albert Shanker of the AFL-CIO, and Frances Hesselbein of the Girl Scouts. Drucker looks at the mission statement, strategies, marketing, performance, and personnel as they apply to nonprofit organizations. Using many examples, he identifies the characteristics necessary for nonprofit organizations to survive and meet the needs of today's society. Sure to be popular; recommended for most libraries.
