Management of International Institutions and NGOs: Frameworks, practices and challenges
Autor Eduardo Missoni, Daniele Alesanien Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 dec 2013
Covering an admirably broad canvas, the authors pursue two main objectives. Firstly, they explore the main management frameworks developed in the context of the corporate and national public/non-profit organizations and adapt them to the specificity of IIs and INGOs. This leads to the identification of a "tailored" approach to IO management based on their institutional and operational settings, stakeholder groups, core business, staff profile, and financial arrangements. Secondly, they "bring theory into practice" by linking frameworks to several case studies and best practices of organizations currently experimenting with management systems and tools, with case studies including the World Bank and the Gates Foundation.
This comprehensive textbook is a must-own resource for students and academics involved with studying and working with international organizations.

Summary:
This work is divided into four main sections.
Section 1 defines the three main families of International Organizations:
Section 2, describes the broader context in which IOs operate, we discuss the complex architecture of the international development cooperation sector, and the evolving dynamics among its main actors. The authors first explore the notion of "development" and its evolution. They then delve into the challenges related to program coordination in the international development and humanitarian aid sectors. They also analyze the evolving roles of IIs and INGOs in light of the emerging paradigms for program implementation and describe the evolution of IIs' funding mechanisms.
Section 3 explores the current management reforms in IOs. The main objective of this section is to elaborate how managerial frameworks can be successfully applied to IOs and to showcase management tools and systems through actual practices and case studies. In this Section, the authors respond to questions such as:

Summary:
This work is divided into four main sections.
Section 1 defines the three main families of International Organizations:
- International Institutions (IIs)
- International NGOs (INGOs)
- Transnational Hybrid Organizations (THOs).
Section 2, describes the broader context in which IOs operate, we discuss the complex architecture of the international development cooperation sector, and the evolving dynamics among its main actors. The authors first explore the notion of "development" and its evolution. They then delve into the challenges related to program coordination in the international development and humanitarian aid sectors.

Section 3 explores the current management reforms in IOs. The main objective of this section is to elaborate how managerial frameworks can be successfully applied to IOs and to showcase management tools and systems through actual practices and case studies. In this Section, the authors respond to questions such as:
- What is strategic management and how it can help IOs organizations achieve their missions?
- What is Result-Based Management (RBM) and how it can help leaders to better orient resources and organizations toward their objectives?
- How do you gear the Human Resources Management (HRM) function and tools to motivate staff, nourish talent, and develop the organization?
- How do you utilize accrual accounting to increase transparency, provide information on the financial sustainability of the organizations and ultimately improve financial management?
- What are the intricacies of the governance of IOs and how can managers navigate them?
