NPO

Not-for-profit Organizations (NPO) exist all around the world, some being international in nature, and they are defined by their necessity to reinvest all surplus revenues to achieve the organization's goals, rather than distributing them as profit or dividends. Many NPOs are charity or service organizations which may work for the relief of poverty, advancement of education or religion, development or other beneficial community-driven services. Master Not-for-profit Organizations students will learn about the various types of NPOs, but also the legal and economic aspects of administering them, such as planning, strategy, leadership, policies, tax status, representation, accountability and auditing provisions, supervision and management and economic activity.

Masters in Not-for-profit Organizations are offered by numerous universities and schools around the world, in Australia, Brunei, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. Most of the programs last for one to two years and require a Bachelors degree as a minimum prerequisite for admission. Prices and study methods for Masters in NPO programs vary depending on the country, school and department. Different Masters of NPO programs focus on different areas of specialization, adding to graduates' high level of employability upon completion.

Masters in NPO. People negotiate daily. As a matter of fact negotiation happens several times a day. Despite the frequency of negotiations few people know how to negotiate well and achieve the most optimal outcomes. Many people believe that good negotiators are born. However, in reality anyone can improve their negotiation skills very considerably through training. At the Center for Public Policy and Competitiveness, we teach a negotiation framework that has proved effective both locally and globally. In the current public policy context leaders often need to manage change and this requires incorporating of multiple stakeholders interests which requires excellent negotiation skills. The challenges faced in negotiating with Senators, Governors, Executive Directors and Union staff have one unique technical difficulty- your opponent in one issue may be an ally in the next. Oftentimes public meetings are contentious or participants are deeply divided along issues of resources, values or even identity. Diffusing contentious situations and arriving at a workable solution is both an art and a science that requires a specific set of skills and practice. Individuals involved in analysis, formulation and implementation of public policy need to know the fundamentals of negotiations. They not only need to have the goal in mind, but they must also know how they will achieve the goal. Reaching the goal requires them to know how to say “no” while maintaining a relationship, how to close a deal on time-not too early nor too late, how to present the main interests clearly, how to balance...

Masters in NPO. The dramatic and rising importance of global civil society is undoubtedly underway throughout the world. Non-Governmental Organizaitons (NGOs) in the non-profit sector as a part of this exciting new development are working with, collaborating with and/or competing with governments as well as markets as interdependence and globalization begin to change our understanding of society and politics. In these transformative times NGOs are often regarded as being the driving force behind global changes in politics, economics, and social/cultural as well as ethical global issues. It is vital therefore to understand the connections, dynamics and relationships between state and non-state actors working in the contemporary global political era. NGOs, in their strategies and policy objectives, crucially, may even go beyond the domestic boundaries of sovereign states into the realm of global governance. NGOs therefore represent a practical strategic part of rethinking the site and nature of politics, power and authority in the 21st century. Reflecting upon the growing importance of NGOs and civil society, the NGO Studies major at AJOU GSIS seeks to develop an understanding of domestic as well as international networking processes by combining theory and practice in this field of study. For this purpose, the NGO Studies major provides prospective students with broad categories of subjects ranging from managerial skills for NGOs to NGO strategic cooperation wth international organizations. Along with two required courses (NGO Introduction and Research Methods), the NGO major offers four broad categories of classes related to current NGO activities. They are; first,... [-]
