Nonprofit Organizations in an Age of Uncertainty: A Study of Growth & Decline (Social Institutions and Social Change)

Joseph Galaskiewicz, Wolfgang Bielefeld (Aldine De Gruyter, 1998)

The purpose of this panel study of nonprofit organizations in the metropolitan area of Minneapolis–St. Paul, Minnesota, over the period from 1980 to 1994 is to explain why some nonprofit organizations (NPOs) grew and others shrank, and why some NPOs survived and others died during this decade and a half. The authors are particularly concerned with the different tactics or strategies employed by the NPOs and the consequences that these choices had for the organization. Softcover, 304 pages, $23.95
