This insightful text, edited by two renowned experts, provides students of public administration and nonprofit management with a collection of relevant, global case studies and corresponding activities. The chapters are structured around common themes and concepts across the field, including the foundations of public administration, managing people and administering public services, and improving efficiency and efficacy. The cases, which are derived from countries around the world, focus on building the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed by public and nonprofit administrators globally, providing a much-needed supplement to many of the introductory texts in public administration. Each case is contextualized by a short synopsis, reflective questions, references, further reading, and learning activities. The compact case format helps students focus on a specific area of public management, with organization by chapter giving instructors choices among cases and the ability to group related topics. The discussion questions in the cases will develop students’ analytical thinking of real scenarios for the application of course content. Public Administration and Nonprofit Management in Practice should be used as either core or recommended reading for courses on public and nonprofit management at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, including Master of Public Administration (MPA) courses and related degree programmes. Instructors will find comprehensive teaching notes online to support this case-based approach to learning.
