Summary:

New paradigms that harness collective solutions and maximize the strengths of different sectors are required to address the complex problems faced by the world today. These new approaches can create models that benefit businesses as well as society, thus expanding opportunities for everyone. In Expanding the Pie , Susan Ross provides useful tools and frameworks to support NGO managers in designing, implementing and evaluating effective nonprofit-corporate partnerships. The book outlines a variety of collaborative associations between the private and public sectors, and, through a selection of case studies, identifies factors that made these partnerships successful and offers lessons that managers can use for future opportunities.
