(Today's executive in human services must be concerned wit...)
Today's executive in human services must be concerned with efficiency. Pressure to develop greater managerial and financial expertise threatens the professional's primary commitment to people and their problems. This book is especially useful because it deals with ideological and technological issues simultaneously. Thirteen original essays reflect the active involvement of the editors and contributors in teaching, direct practice, research, or supervision.The book is divided into four parts. The first provides needed theoretical underpinnings through an essay on social administration by Simon Slavin and another on relevant organizational theory by Burton Gummer. Policy issues, functioning within various constraints, and the leader's role in working with boards of governors and advisors are then examined in articles by Felice Perlmutter, Willard C. Richan, Seymour J. Rosenthal, and James E. Young. Technical areas such as financial management, communications, and project development and evaluation are presented within a systems framework in essays by Scott Muir Wilson, Roger A. Lohmann, Thomas W. Weirich, Albert E. Wilkerson, and Larry Hirschhorn.The concluding section on human resources provides essays by Leslie B. Alexander, Toba Schwaber Kerson, Ione D. Vargus, and Harvey Weiner that deal with the need to recruit women administrators, the problems faced by minority executives, and the morale-building potential of professional training programs. Felice Davidson Perlmutter, Professor of Social Administration at Temple University, is the author of "The Design of Social Work Practice". Simon Slavin, Professor of Social Administration at Temple University, is editor of the journal "Administration in Social Work".

(Using a diverse set of successful alternative programs as...)
Using a diverse set of successful alternative programs as case examples, professionals who have been involved directly in the organization and development of alternative social programs explain the complicated process of planning and implementing new agencies. Alternative social agencies have emerged over the past two decades in response to a variety of needs not being met by older established agencies, but their survival is often limited. This comprehensive volume will help all of those involved in social administration to question their own administrative practices and struggle with new approaches that can best meet the needs of their present and/or potential constituencies. Existing social agencies will find these innovative ideas to be adaptable in meeting changing social conditions, service needs, and target populations. Topics include various direct services in voluntary health-related organizations and agencies; public sector agencies that are not usually associated with alternative programs; and descriptions of effective indirect service.

A unique and useful guide for practitioners who want to broaden their repertoire of professional choices and are either moving up the administrative ladder or considering making a career move in that direction. In user-friendly language, Changing Hats While Managing Change addresses the major challenges that face social workers in these complex times and presents a picture of the various roles and responsibilities of administration, illustrating them with lively case studies. As with the first edition in 1990, Changing Hats While Managing Change fills a gap in social work literature by bridging the differing scopes of responsibility of the social work practitioner and the social work administrator. New sections and expanded materials contemporize and strengthen the book. Using both theoretical and practice perspectives, it emphasizes the complexity of managing social organizations with a focus on advocacy and the management of change. In an era of intensifying responsibilities, this excellent work presents a realistic and achievable picture.
