SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"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." "This work includes such factors 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."--Jacket
