Synopsis
This practical text discusses the process of solving real problems in complex educational systems and introduces modern management concepts from the private, public, and educational sectors.
This text makes a practical link between social science theory and the practice of leading educational systems. Hanson facilitates understanding of how educational organizations function as learning and socio-political systems, and then provides conceptual and analytical tools to facilitate real-world problem solving. Social and behavioral science frameworks are used to identify and explain three widely held perspectives on the administration of educational organizations: (1) the school as a bureaucratic system, (2) the school as a social system, and (3) the school as an open system. Specific chapters are dedicated to key topics such as communication, leadership, management styles, motivation, organizational memory and learning, educational marketing, institution theory, schools of choice (e.g., charter, voucher, home schooling), and educational change.
Unlike many texts in the field, this one is neither obtuse nor boring to read. Its style and humor have always been a point of attraction for students.

Synopsis
This new edition offers the reader an in-depth examination of select ideas and insights into the complex process of administering educational systems. There is an extensive analysis of the various programs that were initiated in the 1980s as part of the effort to restructure education in America, as well as a description of the challenges of the 1990s. The text is focused around the principles that there must be a link between the administration and the teaching force, and that a thorough understanding of the theoretical base which underlies education will enable the readers to work towards educational change. The book includes linkage of strong points of classical theory with the strong points of the social system culminating in the ISM system; discussion of women administrators; and a chapter on motivation and management.
