“The case book is impressive in that it provides great examples of hard choices being made in nonprofits. Providing real experiences and opportunities leads to real decisions that the students can discuss, with outcomes that may either be successes or failures. I appreciate this immensely.”

"A key strength is the diversity of the cases they have selected. The cases cover a sufficent range of issues faced by nonprofits, regardless of their size, providing students with a practical 'behind the scenes' perspective of nonprofit organizations. All too often we only see the 'public' face and forget the challenges, opportunities, pitfalls and successes these organizations face in everyday operations.”
