Non-Profit Organisations, Volume I: Strategic, Managerial and Marketing Advancements
暫譯: 非營利組織，第壹卷：策略、管理與行銷進展

這本四卷本書籍從多元及跨學科的角度探討非營利組織的科學與實踐。這些組織因其在提供公共服務方面的參與而受到相當的關注，並見證了廣泛的增長。它們面臨著越來越大的壓力，需要在商業目標與社會目標之間取得平衡，將固有的特性與管理創意結合，克服結構限制與運營靈活性之間的矛盾，以及在道德界限與務實之間找到平衡；所有這一切都在資源稀缺但決心充沛的情況下進行。

第一卷探討當代環境中非營利組織的機遇與挑戰，闡明該領域當前及未來的問題，設定戰略方向，並呈現行業範圍內的範例與最佳實踐。第二卷探討與經濟及產業相關的背景因素。第三卷呈現社會與倫理方面的議題，以及可持續性、問責制和整體社會福祉的問題。第四卷也是最後一卷，則著重於結構與模型，特別強調技術的應用。
