Title: New Theory of Organizational Ecology, and Its Implications for Educational Leadership
Description: "Since the early 1990s, there has been increased awareness that science's ecosystem concept has application in developing a better understanding of the nature and function of organisations and their leadership. In this book, Branson and Marra argue that an ecologically comprehensive interpretation is needed for a more insightful explanation of the organisation's cultural dynamics and the essential role of the leader within this context. They argue that there needs to be a focus on determining how well the school s culture is enabling the required interconnectivity, both internally within the school and externally between the school and its local community, in order to accomplish its vision and mission. Throughout, they draw on international case studies from around the world, including Australia, New Zealand and Belgium."--
