social & community services sheds light on the dynamics &
problems of merging nonprofit organizations, whose espoused ideology
focuses on promoting the well-being of their clients. Examined is a
merger in metropolitan Jerusalem, Israel, highlighting potential
problems that may ultimately undermine its success. This merger is the
outcome of an ongoing power & political struggle. Analysis focuses
on the organizational ideologies & culture as well as the
strategies & structure of the merging organizations. Also explored
are the underlying motives for merging, the driving & restraining
forces, & the implications of merging nonprofit community services
