Editorial Reviews

This fine book can be an intensive self-study or teaching tool for NPO leaders, executives, paid staff, and even volunteers. Hence, this book permits addressing ethics in detail at the level of individual employees (and also volunteers) in NPOs. For this very basic reason the present book is incredibly valuable to anyone concerned with learning the details of NPO ethics.

-David Horton Smith, Founder, Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action

I loved this book. It is engaging and readable, and I think students will like it...if you are looking for an affordable resource that will help students think through organizational dilemmas (and that they will actually read!), especially students at the master's level, then I highly recommend it.
