Course description


We hear a lot about successful for-profit companies and the successful strategies they have developed. Even though nonprofit organizations are not concerned with profit maximization, they too can benefit from following a strategy. A nonprofit's strategy constitutes its decisions about what it will do and how it will do it.  Nonprofit managers are critical to successfully implementing strategy since they are responsible for carrying out the actions that will support it.  By understanding a nonprofit's strategy and how it helps the organization fulfill its mission through this course by MindEdge, a manager can do a better job implementing the strategy.
