BUS 150 Strategic Management of Nonprofit Organizations

This course is designed to study, discuss, and debate issues facing managers of nonprofit organizations. The goal of this course is to integrate skills in organizational behavior marketing, finance, and analytical disciplines into strategic decision making in the nonprofit context. Topics explored include mission definition, competing internal and external demands, resource scarcity and uncertainty governance systems, and managing strategic change. While the principal thrust of the course is on nonprofit organizations, there will be opportunities to examine areas where public for-profit, and nonprofit organizations interact.
