Review: "In Strategic Planning and Management in Public Organizations, Meshack M. Sagini presents an in-depth analysis of organizational planning and management within public and nonprofit institutions. Using four Michigan colleges as case studies, the book's empirical and comparative approach employs theory to explain the practice of effective and scientific organizational management. The research discusses not only the relationship between the means and ends of the organizational mission(s), but also shows how this relationship brings to bear upon the major environmental trends that influence decision making. An erudite study, the book will be extremely useful to students, scholars, and policy makers in public, nonprofit, and private arenas."--BOOK JACKET.
