In the pages of Beyond the Bottom Line, Sandler and Hudson provide detailed descriptions of nonprofits and public agencies that are meeting the challenge of doing more with less, and setting standards of efficiency and service that few business organizations can meet. The authors studied hundreds of nonprofit and public agencies around the country to find organizations like these that are meeting the challenges of shrinking resources and growing demand. Focusing on the thirty "best of breed" organizations, they developed a roster of attitudes and skills that distinguishes these top performers. In addition, they have distilled hundreds of practical techniques and strategies - transferable to any organization in any sector - that put these organizations at the head of their class.
