Praise for the First Edition:

`What is impressive about this book is the sense of ′balance′ and ′perspective′ that Brody achieves throughout: the analysis of each topic is thorough and the pros and cons of every situation are explored and evaluated with some care from a variety of differing perspectives... The incorporation of practical solutions make this an ideal text for use in management teaching in colleges and universitites... This book is therefore highly recommended′ - The Service Industries Journal

Integrating the various topics that administration comprises in an easy to understand practical style, this new edition retains all the useful information of the first, while updating and adding a number of segments. These include financial management and working with important constituencies. The author has also provided more forms and spreadsheets, and useful web sites for practicing managers.

Ralph Brody, Ph.D. passed away on February 8, 2006. Dr. Brody was previously on the faculty of Cleveland State University where he taught social policy and human service administration. He also taught graduate courses on human service delivery models at Case Western Reserve University. Previously, he served for fifteen years as the executive director of the Federation for Community Planning, an organization that provides research, planning and advocacy on health and human services. Dr. Brody authored books on case management, the state legislative process, fundraising events, community problem solving, service learning, and macro practice. Dr. Brody’s many years as a manager and teacher convinced him that the issues facing those in human service organizations were universal and applied to boards of directors as well as NGOs. He dedicated himself to developing tools to enhance the understanding and skills of those in leadership roles, from Cleveland to India, Spain, Ghana, Ethiopia, Egypt and Nigeria.  His frequent workshops in Kenya led to the translation of his casebook into the Swahili language. His co-authored book with Dr. Nair: Grassroot Development – Establishing Successful Microenterprises has been published in English and Malayalam language. Dr. Brody’s work touched millions, and his contributions will continue to educate, inform and inspire future students and professionals in human services field.
