Strain, Michael

Educational Management & Administration, v24 n1 p49-63 Jan 1996

Questions whether "scientific" theories of educational management are compatible with the goals of an autonomous (British) education service. Discusses recent educational administration theories and their implications for social justice and educational diversity. Applies social-choice theory to organizational resourcing problems and examines the potentially contradictory requirements of efficiency and equity. (44 references) (MLH)
