This second edition of Management of International Institutions and NGOs covers all key topics in global governance, from a unique management perspective. It analyses the management challenges associated with international cooperation, rather than the more commonly explored political or economic lenses.
The text is structured to enable students to connect theory with practice, beginning with the main management frameworks developed in the context of the corporate and national public/non-profit organizations and adapting them to the specificity of IIs and INGOs. This leads to the identification of a "tailored" approach to IO management based on their institutional and operational settings, stakeholder groups, core business, staff profile, and financial arrangements. The authors then connect this theory with practice by linking frameworks to several case studies and best practices of organizations currently experimenting with management systems and tools, with case studies including the World Bank and the Gates Foundation.
This edition has been extensively revised and updated, with an expanded conceptual framework inclusive of systemic theories of organization, new cases throughout, and new chapters on leadership, supply chain and operations, and on human centred digitization. This comprehensive textbook is a must-own resource for students and academics involved with studying and working with international organizations.
