You may select to write one case study instead of completing an exam. Each case study option presents a management scenario designed to provide you with issues, problems, and choices faced by nonprofit professionals in the field. Your answer requires you to come up with solutions and propose actions using the information provided in the case and ground your solution in the theories, best practices and concepts learned during the course. If you select to write a case paper you must choose from one of the following topics: 1. Central Asia Institute - Greg Mortenson/Three Cups of Tea Scandal 2. The United Way - William Aramony Scandal 3. Second Mile - Jerry Sandusky Scandal 4.

Your analysis should demonstrate your ability to apply appropriate class concepts to the situation and the ability to identify the overarching situation/problem. Recommendations: Your paper should incorporate the class readings, at minimum (outside sources are welcomed) to identify 2 to 3 recommendations that discuss how they would be used to prevent the issue/s from occurring in another nonprofit organization. The pros and cons of each recommendation must be discussed for full points Conclusion: Summary paragraph(s) Remember, there are no "right" answers to problems presented and no "correct" way of thinking about or analyzing the situation. Papers will be graded on your ability to provide supporting evidence for your recommendations (i.e., ability to integrate concepts, theories, models, and best practices related to nonprofit management accurately). You are responsible for researching information related to the nonprofit.
