5 out of 5 stars A best buy for strategic thinking   February 19, 2007

This is one of the most useful guides,if not the most useful, I've seen on how to think strategically about business ideas that are relevant to the nonprofit world. Kearns makes sensible distinctions between the two sectors. He presents in clear language and analsyis the for profit concepts and applications that are relevant to nonprofit organizations. It's a great resource!
