Case studies for the classroom and beyond

The case studies are varied, complex, and realistic. As a student, I used this as a textbook in a dual-level course on public administration. The case studies elicited thought and discussion from undergraduates. An outstanding feature of the book is that it includes examples from the non-profit sector as well as government. Although fictionalized, the case studies are obviously based on real-world examples.
