The course started out diffuse, but in the last modules it focused on things like stakeholders and mission. Both public and non profit organisations need funding and regulatory approval, and ethically they are not much different from for profit organisations.
Much to be desired in terms of the learning design. It feels like data is dumped for you to read and digest.
This course is just someone reading a poorly written textbook.
