1 Foundations of Nonprofit Management PADM-GP.2125 Robert F. Wagner School of Public Service New York University Fall, 2012 Professor: Sonia Ospina The Puck Building, 3075, Ext Class: Wednesday, 4:55-6:35 pm; Office Hours: Tuesdays 4 6 pm and by appointment Prerequisite: P or equivalent Course Description The purpose of this course is to deepen participants understanding of the nature and major trends of the nonprofit sector and its organizations, using theoretical lenses to explore key current debates and their implications for practice. The course reviews broad trends shaping the sector in the context of a larger shift in governance, at a time when the lines between the private, public and nonprofit sectors are becoming more and more blurred. Understanding the legitimacy and capacity of the nonprofit sector to address collective problems in this context requires connecting the macro and micro dynamics of governance, which means linking managerial practices to broader policy debates and dilemmas. Students in this course whether interested in policy, finance or management, in urban planning, health, education in public and nonprofit contexts will identify and interpret key theories, issues, debates and challenges as experienced in the practice of stakeholders of the nonprofit world, and will consider the implications for their own practice. To provide a space for this process, through out the course students will work on developing a cognitive map of the sector that incorporates their perspectives and learning. A visual representation of this map and its accompanying explanatory memo represent the final assignment due at the end of the semester. Classes involve a mix of brief lectures; discussion based on readings or written assignments; and guest speakers. The course s readings focus predominantly on debates in the United States, but connections to international and global trends are surfaced where possible through targeted readings, guest speakers stories and class discussions. Course objectives By the end of the course students will have developed an informed perspective of selected theories about the nature of nonprofit organizations and their role in governance, as well as key issues and debates affecting the nonprofit sector and their implications for practice. To do so, they will: 1
2 Identify key concepts and theories that explain the nature of the nonprofit sector, thus appreciating the distinctiveness of nonprofits as public service organizations operating in the private realm, in relationship to for-profits and public agencies. Link key trends in the US nonprofit sector to the broader international context where nongovernmental organizations are increasingly operating. Be able to respond to arguments and positions about selected policy and management debates associated with the present and future of the nonprofit sector and its organizations. Develop a cognitive map of the sector that identifies key themes associated with the sustainability of the nonprofit sector and of its organizational ecosystem.
