Hi Greg,
At the risk of promoting my own work, you may like to have a look at my strategy textbook with an emerging market focus, available for only $15 including shipping direct from India. It is a comprehensive textbook, now in its second edition and is quite popular in India, and is intended for an MBA audience. It has, among other things, a chapter on public and nonprofit enterprise strategy, and you will find it useful as a standalone text, if you are including supplement articles; or as a supplement text that has several innovative features not usually found in the contemporary strategy texts. You may order it at the following site:

This fall I am taking over and reworking our MPA program's Strategic Management class, and was wondering if anyone knew of a good text for teaching strategy to public and nonprofit managers. We generally get a few students employed in private-sector health care, but otherwise everyone is employed in city / county government or the nonprofit sector. Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Greg
