Although there are many textbooks in the field of educational
administration describing various organizational theories, this
text is unique in tying organizational theory explicitly and
systematically to a well-formulated problem- analysis methodology.
It provides particular examples of bureaucratic, political, and
leadership theories as well as descriptions of two broader
theoretical frameworks: Burrell and Morgan's conceptual matrix and
systems thinking. Special features include: * a fully developed
methodology for describing and documenting problems in schools; * a
systematic method for using different theoretical perspectives to
analyze the causes of problems in schools; * carefully formulated
questions illustrating how different theoretical frameworks lead
policy analysts to look at problems differently and to focus on
different types and sources of information concerning their
possible causes; * substantial sample papers illustrating the
methodology; and * a range of illustrative organizational theories,
amply described and succinctly grounded intellectually. This book
is directed toward students in organizational theory and problem
analysis classes and their professors, as well as to school
administrators seeking to examine their problems and policies from
perspectives that go beyond personal experience.
