MGMT 602 Non-Profit Management Sample Papers, Week by Week

Liberty University · MS in Management and Leadership · Business and accounting · Updated

MGMT 602 prepares leaders for the political, social and economic settings nonprofits work in, reading Worth's Nonprofit Management: Principles and Practice and reviewing an article or case in every forum. The samples test Hansmann's contract failure theory on a church child care center, read founder's syndrome in a prison reentry ministry, weigh a funder's merger push on two Cleveland after-school programs, apply Tuckman and Chang's vulnerability tests to a flooded music school and close with a full analysis of a home repair ministry.

What MGMT 602 covers

Worth is read across the term, chapters 1 and 2 in the five-day first module, one or three chapters in most later modules and chapters 9 and 10 at the end; presentations, websites and one case study accompany the reading, and each of the four quizzes covers the chapters just read.

Forum threads fall in Modules/Weeks 1, 3, 5 and 7 with Quizzes 1 to 4 in the same weeks, the replies follow in Modules/Weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8, and the 300-point Nonprofit Analysis Project, with its worldview essay, ten-organization review, evaluation and letter, is due in Module/Week 8.

Liberty's 2026-2027 catalog describes MGMT 602 Non-Profit Management this way:
Leaders of nonprofit organizations must understand their role in the diverse political, social and economic contexts in which they will lead. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of how to lead a nonprofit organization. Students will examine governance, key concepts and the stakeholders involved in nonprofit management.

Where MGMT 602 papers lose points

MGMT 602 threads lose points when they summarize the assigned reading without testing it on an organization, when replies agree without adding a second source, and when the analysis project lists ten organizations at length but gives the chosen one a thin evaluation or recommendations that no finding supports.

Using a MGMT 602 sample well

The samples draw on Worth, Hansmann, Weisbrod, Salamon, Block and Rosenberg, Herman and Heimovics, Guo and Acar, Benton and Austin, Gazley and Brudney, Tuckman and Chang, Calabrese, Herman and Renz, Brown and Keller and Alsdorf.
