Abstract

The vice principal of a nonprofit school in India must decide whether to compel her teaching staff to change their approach to conform to the expectations of international funders. This case deals with questions of how to reconcile cultural differences between NGO staff, who carry out the day-to-day work of the organization, and international funders, who may impose standards and norms from their own countries without consideration of the values of the home country. How should organizations navigate cultural clashes between different countries, or even between different communities within the same country? Handy and Russell suggest that readers consider what is ethical, using the tools provided in earlier chapters of the book.
