TEXTBOOK 2ND EDITION

The Management of Non-Governmental Development Organizations David Lewis, London School of Economics, UK ’I discovered David Lewis’ book two years ago when scanning the literature for textbooks on the topic of NGO management. I realized as soon as I started reading it that it filled a gap in the current literature on the subject. David Lewis introduces scholars and students to the key issues related to NGO management in a manner that is so comprehensive in scope yet so readable that one gains a broad knowledge of the subject yet a great appreciation for the details that so often derail NGO managers in their quest to achieve the mission of the organization. I have used this book twice in my class and my students have come to appreciate the seriousness with which David Lewis approaches the subject. I will continue to use this book without qualification in future classes. It is a must read for scholars because of the breadth of literature covered and for students because it gives them an in-depth view of the complexity of the subject and provides examples of how that complexity plays itself out in the day-to-day realities of NGO life.’ - Ann Marie Thomson, Indiana University Bloomington, USA ’...this is a very impressive and useful summary of the literature.’ - Sylvia I. Bergh, Voluntas Revealing the distinctive organizational challenges faced by NGOs, this second edition provides a fully updated and revised text that will prove invaluable to all those studying or working in NGOs, the voluntary sector or development studies. 2006: 246x174: 285pp Hb: 978-0-415-37092-9: £90.00 Pb: 978-0-415-37093-6: £27.99 eBook: 978-0-203-03070-7 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY
