"A timely and significant contribution to the much needed cross cultural dialogue among NGOs and donors." – Chiku Malunga, Director, CADECO
"Taken as a whole, Claeyé’s work represents a significant contribution to theorizations of
management in hybrid third-sector organizations, reaffirming the primacy of discourse and power and
shaping of institutions norms and illuminating the role of agency and identity in the active formation and
enactment of organizational culture. Scholars of organizational communication and management will find
much in Managing Nongovernmental Organizations: Culture, Power and Resistance to provoke thought
and conversation, and considerations of nonprofit management in the global context will be richer for its
deep qualitative analysis and innovative perspective." - Stefanie Z. Demetriades, International Journal of Communication
