MN5821 Managing Non-Governmental Organisations
|
NGOs and other Third Sector organisations are highly significant actors within society, the democratic polity, and the economy. They are also distinctive organisations in certain key respects that set them apart from either public sector organisations or commercial enterprises, and which make them particularly challenging to manage. This module will examine the nature and significance of these organisations and the opportunities and challenges with which they are engaging.
Although topics may change as significant new issues arise, themes with which the module will engage are expected to include:
Mapping the sector: definitions, scale, scope, significance.
Origins of the sector.
What makes the sector different?
Strategic challenges.
Voluntarism.
Managing humanitarian disaster relief missions. |
