Praise for STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR PUBLIC AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS This book about strategic planning in public and nonprofit organizations is in fact a comprehensive framework for carrying out management tasks in any organization. It is more lucid, intelligent, and fertile than any other such resource in public and nonprofit management. -- Michael Barzelay, Professor of Public Management, London School of Economics and Political Science This new edition is the finest strategic planning book in the world. It is always my #1 recommendation to practitioners and scholars alike. No one does strategic planning better than John Bryson and Bert George. --Rosemary O'Leary, Edwin O. Stene Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of Kansas This book masterfully blends theoretical insights with practical strategies and is distinguished by its global perspective and contemporary approaches, including design thinking and agile methodologies. --Said Elbanna, Professor of Strategic Management, Qatar University The scope and depth of coverage of this book are breathtaking. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to build a more effective public or nonprofit organization. --M. Ramesh, Professor and UNESCO Chair on Social Policy Design in Asia, National University of Singapore The latest edition of this classic builds on strong foundations but takes us in new directions. Together, Bryson and George stake out a shift from strategic planning toward strategic management and governance. --Janine O'Flynn, Director, Crawford School of Public Policy, The Australian National University
