Still Another Approach to Administration: Chaos Theory.

Griffiths, Daniel E.; And Others

Educational Administration Quarterly, v27 n3 p430-51 Aug 1991

Uses chaos systems concepts to analyze a case study of rapid growth and conflict in a southwestern school district. Difficulties arising from the need for very precise initial measurements, data forms adaptable to pattern modeling, and precise meanings for chaotic systems concepts limit chaotic theory's application to educational administration research.
