Restricted Choice in the Management of Change.

North, R. F. J.

Educational Management and Administration, v16 n3 p163-71 Fall 1988

Instances from case studies of comprehensive schools in the United Kingdom show that cultural influences restrict possibilities of "rational" action by educational leaders. This article warns against business theory and concludes that we need to know more about how people in schools make choices. (Author/TE)
