Synopsis

Managing Without Profit - now in its fifteenth year of publication - has sold over 18,000 copies and been translated into three languages.

The new edition has been completely revised and updated, with new chapters on managing strategic partnerships and managing knowledge and new sections on winning work from the public sector and tracking corporate performance. It also includes many new case examples drawn directly from the author's recent work.
