What does the private sector have to teach the voluntary sector?
[⌊[Kearns - book cover]⌉](http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0787941891/219)
While it doesn’t of course have all the answers, it makes sense to adapt the best
of private sector thinking and experience to benefit the voluntary sector.

Kevin Kearns explains how this can work in his book, “Private Sector Strategies 
for Social Sector Success: The Guide to Strategy and Planning for Public and Nonprofit
Organizations.” Publishers Jossey-Bass say that it is “the first book for public
and nonprofit organisations to go beyond the strategic planning process and offer
in-depth advice on selecting and using specific strategies for organisational success.”

Published in May 2000, the book is the winner of the Terry McAdam Book Award for
Nonprofit Excellence.
