This new collection of readings draws together three major and interrelated priorities for the educational developing and maintaining quality, using resources effectively, and establishing a strategic overview and direction for the organization.In explaining these three concerns, the book aims to help educational managers to improve their own practice, by encouraging critical reflection on management processes and on how conceptual frameworks and research evidence can contribute to more effective professional performance in schools and colleges.The collection has a strongly practical flavour, focusing on frameworks, ideas and approaches that teachers can test out and develop in their own professional contexts. It includes material based on a wide range of educational settings, enabling managers to transcend sector boundaries in their thinking and to draw on insights from other sectors.

This text uses the Keynesian-neoclassical conflict as an expositional device from beginning to end. This enables the authors to emphasize that the differences in policy conclusions stem from different assumptions about how the economy works, and that the crucial distinction between Keynesian and neoclassical macro theory centres on different views of how the supply of output responds to changes in demand. For students and teachers bewildered by macroeconics texts that do not treat their own economy, the authors provide an up-to-date review of balance-of-payments theory, quantity-constrained models and the new classicists' work on rational expectations within the framework of policy analysis for a small open economy. The book is deliberately graded in difficulty. Sections 1 and 2, together with Chapter 20 on inflation, provide the basis of an intermediate-level degree course on macroeconomics. Section 3 considers the micro foundations of investment and consumption, and deals with trade-cycle and growth theories. Sections 4 and 5 are more advanced, discussing current theoretical controversies and related policy issues.
