			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi Everyone<br />
What do you know of research or literature on SOC in nonprofit organizations? <br />
<br />
I am writing a book on 6 NGOs in different parts of the world, looking at their strategies for transformation and sustainability. Most of this info focuses on finance and leadership, whereas I want to focus on community -- how a SOC strengthens NGO operations, increases their impact and longevity. <br />
<br />
I do have the Fisher, Sonn &amp; Bishop book and some books on organization culture.<br />
<br />
For my book I am developing surveys and interview protocols in which I will incorporate SOC Index.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
