The Study of Nonprofit Enterprise: Theories and Approaches (Nonprofit and Civil Society Studies)

Book Description

This volume addresses the need to revisit the economic theories from the last two decades that have contributed to the development of a concentrated research agenda on nonprofit organizations. Long neglected as a topic of theorizing and empirical investigation by mainstream economics in particular, these initial theories of nonprofit organizations from the late 1970s and early 1980s continue to shape theoretical and conceptual efforts. Importantly, their influence extends beyond economics and informs sociological and politics science approaches to the set of organizations and institutions located between the market firm and the state agency as well.
While the theoretical map of nonprofit research has expanded beyond these early attempts and now include several other major theories such as stakeholder approaches, supply-side or entrepreneurial theories, institutional theories and comparative approaches. This work suggests that it is time to take stock and reexamine some of the basics from which these economic theories operate.
This work will be essential to those in the nonprofit sector, organizational management and economics, political scientists and other researchers working with the nonprofit and voluntary sector.

Hit's the mark with key messages.......2006-10-10

Having been a long time marketer for over 30 years and a self-described "student" of the business, it's easy to feel as though I've seen it all. Ms. McMurtry's book changed that for me. For once, it's apparent that someone in the marketing field "gets it". The strong emphasis on emotional marketing, a key component to why people buy; the emphasis on lifetime value of the customer; the real life examples of the wide range of topics she covers, should be required reading for anyone in a marketing function. It tells us point blank that if you are not in business to create emotional ties and experiential relationships in the marketing you do, you're not likely to grow your business--and that's why we are in business, isn't it? Thank you Ms. McMurtry for covering so much valuable ground in an easily readable volume.

Great for all types of small business!.......2003-06-14

Running a private music studio can be challenging, especially when it comes to the business end of things. Even though I have no employees, I found Ms. McMurtry's book immensely helpful. I especially appreciated the tips on identifying and connecting with my best customer. Learning how to write a marketing plan to support what I wanted from my business enabled me to keep my focus. The book helped me attract the type of students that best fit my needs while running my studio as an efficient, profit generating entity. I highly recommend it to sole practitioners, like myself.

Practical Advice with Immediate Value.......2003-05-16

While most books tell you what needs to be done, this one gives specific detail on *HOW* to do it. Within 10 minutes of cracking open this book I found several tools that will help my company determine the value of various customer segments - something we've managed on gut feel rather than actual customer data. The author also provides multiple checklists to help with taking a company's key management through processes to identify where marketing programs need improvement. Like many companies, we're undergoing a significant change in our business strategy due to geopolitical change and her tools will undoubtedly help us manage the change more wisely.

GREAT MARKETING PERSPECTIVE.......2003-05-08

This book offers both the beginning and experienced marketing professional with a good overview of basic and advanced marketing concepts. Good examples and case studies. McMurtry's passion for lifetime marketing is contagious and should excite and inspire business owners. Highly recommended.

Radke's Promtion book is a must read for authors!.......2004-08-18

I am so glad I read your book. You explained things I needed to know and corrected things I thought I knew. Most important, your book helped me develop and refine the marketing plan that I am now implementing for my newest book.

I have been authoring materials and involved in media (producing and hosting radio & TV) for more than 20 years. After reading your outstanding resource for small publishers, I am changing the way I do things. Thank you for taking the time to compile your book and make these materials available to help others. My work will be more effective because of your work.

If you've just published a book and want to know the ins and outs of promoting it, this 192 page brand new book (2000) can really give you the insight. Writing the work is most demanding, but promoting it properly will spell your success or failure. It's a very fast read with highlighted topics for ready reference. Topics range from: Nuts and Bolts of Publicity, Signings, Publicity and Marketing, Getting Free Publicity, Book Reviews, Television Promotion, Radio Talk Shows, Web Promotion, and much more. A wealth of information to help you get started. Its completely indexed. The emphasis of the work is successful promotion on a small budget. Provides you with the tips of the trade. Worth reading.

solid information, but geared to book authors.......2000-11-07

As a firm believer in truth in marketing, I had mixed feelings about this book. The information it contains is excellent and helpful for authors looking to promote a book, but at the bottom of the front cover it says: "A step-by-step guide to promoting anything from books to businesses." Sorry, that's not accurate. 75% of the book has to do with book promotion only. If you've got another kind of business, choose another book.

Heavy Loaded Book.......2000-10-24

The book stands out as a very good guide for the first time entrepreneur or the self-publisher. Linda Radke both as author and editor presents all the know-how you will need to properly advertise your book or business.

"Promote Like A Pro" consists of two parts. The first one shows how to prepare an excellent marketing plan for your book. And in the second part of the book, contributing experts share their knowledge on marketing and publicity. Publishing experts uncovers us their tips and secrets how to market books.

"Promote Like A Pro" is a must read for anyone wishing to begin a self-publishing promotion. It is very exciting and has many good pointers. Definitely recommended as a way to help successfully promote yourself, your business or your book.

The self-promotion ideas in the Linda Radke's book look quite new and fresh for reader in Russia. I think, nobody in Moscow knows the tips how to promote a book. And I'll try this secret weapon with my next book. Thanks for sharing, Linda!

With fresh ideas, we are able to bring new light to our companies, no matter what the size or product may be.

This is a book that you will want to keep referring back to time and time again. It's an inspiration! I enjoyed it so much that I bought a book for every family member to give to them for Christmas. It's just one of those things that just keeps giving and giving.

What a Mind Opener!.......2007-10-10

I was privileged to be able to preview this outstanding work in Galley Proof form. Judy McKay has hit a home run with this exciting, thought provoking book.

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but I discovered that it is possible to make an old dog sit up and take notice and learn that there are some new and refreshing ideas in marketing, thanks to the internet and other concepts you will have to read "Sell More" etc to learn,) that make it much easier for this 'old dog' to perform those tricks much more effectively.

Thanks to Judy's words of wisdom, written in a very easily read and understood style, I have been able to move my new business to the next level.

I know that even older dogs than I will get a new lease on their entrepenreneurial lives after reading this book.

To those who are just starting out I recommend that you read "Sell More:An Entrepeneur's Guide To Marketing On A Small Budget; Strategies That Make A Big Difference" Before you read any of the old standards like The Power of Hidden Persuaders and similar titles.

Judy has succeeded in writing a book about the here and now. A very timely publication that absolutely appropriate for the NOW GENERATION!!

ASIN: B000OG03LG

Book Description

The glittering economic success of the New Asia has a dark side of drug trafficking, illegal migration, labor abuses, and pollution. These so-called "transnational problems" are grabbing headlines and forcing themselves onto the diplomatic agenda with increasing frequency, shouldering aside traditional questions of commerce and security. Neither government authorities nor regional institutions are prepared to cope with this new agenda.
What elevates social ills to Asian transnational problems? What stakes does the United States have in solving them? What are the policy options, and the obstacles, for crafting multilateral solutions? Which problems are most amenable to solution, and which are most intractable? How do these solutions complement--or clash with--the pursuit of broader U.S. foreign policy goals in Asia?
Six experts tackle these questions in the chapters of this volume: Stephen Flynn of the U.S. Coast Guard on drugs and organized crime; Elizabeth Economy of the Council on Foreign Relations on the environment; Paul J. Smith of Pacific Forum/CSIS on labor migration; Sadako Ogata of the UNHCR on refugee flows; and Sidney R. Jones of Human Rights Watch/Asia on human rights. Two summary chapters by James Shinn weave the experts' discussions into a set of general propositions for dealing with transnational problems in Asia.

Not exactly what we expected.......2006-08-27

This CD is good only if you are looking for a lot of pictures and items NOT related specifically to the military. It does contain a lot of photos of World government military items, like the UN, etc. etc. Not so many specifically oriented to our US military. We expected more related to US ships insignias etc. Also, the 20,000 pic. counts the same pictures twice in different formats so you really are not getting what is advertised.

This collection was a real dissapointment. Many of the clips are too small to be useful, or of very low quality. Very few were of sufficient quality to be used in an informal presentation, much less professional graphic work. Many appeared to be bad sketch-work that had been scanned, then poorly cropped. Some pieces might be useful for those who need seals/symbols for specific agencies or commands, but even these are low quality, and can be obtained easily from the agencies websites.

Book Description

A complete revision of the old Nobles Book from 1st edition Pendragon. LORDLY DOMAINS details the privileges the nobility can expect and the obligations demanded of them. Included are special rules for castle construction, life of the noble class, and how they are supposed to act. Also included is an expanded economic table.

Heavy Duty Stuff.......2002-12-25

This book is for dedicated fanatics. It allows the storyteller to function on a scale either much larger (such as the management of whole countries and the building of castles) or much smaller (modifiers on hunting depending on which breed of dog you use, for example) than the standard Pendragon campaigns.
This makes the book a valuable tool for experienced players, but less number and detail - oriented ones (such as myself) should be carefull about getting lost in all that information. Another thing to watch out for is the mood, wich on the surface seems quite generic - maybe this was origionally intended as a stand - alone tactical wargame?. Fortunately, they decided to do a guide to role - playing nobles instead, that allows you to do things like design a proper coat of arms or run the twelve nights of Christmas. It also has a full list of Arthurian British annual tournaments, something quite nice to know!.
The only part of the book i didnt much care for was the hunt adventure: some people should really read their beastiaries better...
But still, details like the pictures of the inside of a medival castle or what mood nobles are in on a hunt more than make up for it.
This is not a vital book, but after you have played the game for a while you will come to value it highly: its the most important Pendragon book after "Mystic Tournaments".

Lordly resource.......2002-07-23

The Lordly Domains book is a self-contained resource for players and GMs on owning land and the responsibilities of being a noble. It includes a simple but extremely effective system for stronghold design and siege warfare and (most fun of all) a system for running your fiefdom with rules for expanding populations, the annual harvest, taxation, raids, the happiness of peasants and the expensive business of visits from your liege. Although the book is a resource for the King Arthur Pendragon system, the rules are comprehensive and essentially self-contained and can be easily slotted into any role-playing system set in a feudal society.

The book is split into a series of chapters, the aforementioned sections on lands and fortifications are concerned mostly with the fundamentals of owning land while additional chapters on grand events (including tournaments, hunts and feasts), heraldry and a description of castle interiors give life to the rules. There is also a full adventure to set PCs on the path of owning land and rebuilding a ravaged society as well as additional adventure seeds to inspire the GM.

Excellent........1999-02-08

A fascinating inside look at President Truman's seizure of the steel mills during the Korean War and the constitutional crisis that followed. Westin pieces together bits and pieces of key legal briefs, Truman's memoirs, and an account of the social and political forces operating at the time of the seizure. If you ever wanted to know what the key actors were really thinking and what happened after the Supreme Court declared Truman's action unconstitutional, this book is a must read.
