Innovation in the private and public sectors has been the subject of a great deal of study, since it is central to the economic growth and effective governance of most organizations. Determining the changes needed in an organization is less difficult than determining how to make the changes work. This volume is the result of a three-year study that investigated the factors associated with the implementation of program changes in forty-two nonprofit community welfare agencies.
Kaplan (Texas A & M U., College Station, Texas) reports the findings from a three-year study he conducted in the mid- 1960s, investigating the factors associated with the implementation of program change in 42 nonprofit community welfare organizations. The results were previously documented in a duplicated report which had limited distribution. The full report is published here for the first time, at the urging of colleagues who recently revisited the original document. A new introduction by Marshall Scott Poole places the study in the context of the contemporary literature. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
This volume is the result of a three-year study that investigated the factors associated with the implementation of program changes in a nonprofit community welfare agency. It addresses factors such as administration behavior and perception, its effect on board members, mobility orientation, job satisfaction, and the prediction of program change and will be of interest to management in both the private and non-profit sector as well as students of organizational sociology and psychology.
