This course introduces essential financial and operational strategies used in the management of NGOs and Mission-based Enterprises (MBEs). Topics covered include: financial management and operations of NGOs and MBEs, developing a clear mission statement, establishing organizational accountability and transparency, organizational design, financial management and reporting, financial controls and audits, marketing, fundraising, grant writing and operational management of organizational missions.


This course takes an interdisciplinary and comparative approached to NGO and mission-based management based on the assumption that management principles, though universal to some extent, vary significantly according to the context in which NGOs function. This course requires students to think strategically and critically in the management of NGO’s within the political, economic, ideological, and socio-cultural contexts in which they operate.


This is a “big .picture” comprehensive course covering sustainability management topics. It cuts across the whole spectrum of business and management with a focus on sustainability (economic, social, ethical and ecological returns). Climate Change, the greatest unmet challenge facing contemporary managers and organizations, is a particular focus. We will look at sustainability issues presenting “wicked” and untamed (complex) contexts for managers and evaluate how current theories and practices perform and fail to perform in these contexts. May be taken twice for credit.
