Congratulations to Dr. Johny Garner for his new publication "Frenemies for Good: The Paradox of Collaboration and Competition Among Nonprofit Organizations"! Nonprofit organizations are expected to collaborate with each other to solve community problems. At the same time, they are competing for donor dollars. His article examines how one nonprofit organization communicatively managed that paradox. And thanks to support from TCU – Texas Christian University, it is open access, so take a look!
