Selected Readings - Managing for Change
Leadership and Strategy in Asian NGOs
This book is about how some of the most successful Asian NGOs are managed. It deals with issues of growth, leadership and context, and questions the usefulness of Western management doctrine.
The case studies highlight the role of learning for the success and growth of NGOs, while questioning the myth that NGOs are intrinsically learning organisations. Organisational learning is described as a dynamic process that integrates the informal (dialogue, reflection and learning by doing) and the formal (training courses, seminars etc.), with learning as both an incremental and an experiential process.
