Going Global for the Greater Good: Succeeding As a Nonprofit in the International Community

A professional consultant to nonprofits, Koenig explores the experiences that U.S. nonprofit organizations have had with efforts at ＂international engagement.＂ After discussing the possible benefits of expanding outside of the borders of the U.S., she describes activities such as holding conferences to encourage international networks, developing strategic alliances with other organizations, and other similar programs. She then discusses modifying organization behavior through such means as bringing international perspectives into decision-making, expanding international membership, and communicating internationally. Finally, she discusses the lessons to be drawn from organizations that already operate on a global scale. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
