NGO & MISSION-BASED MANAGEMENT in Spring 2025 (BA5055)

Home>Academic Catalog 2024-2025>Course Catalog>

This course takes an interdisciplinary and comparative approached to NGO and mission-based management based on the assumption that management principles, though universal to some extent, vary significantly according to the context in which NGOs function. This course requires students to think strategically and critically in the management of NGO’s within the political, economic, ideological, and socio-cultural contexts in which they operate.
