Thrupp and Willmott's book on education management is an eye opener for those wishing to cast a more critical gaze over the vast amount of literature on this subject. The authors of this book offer a thorough critique of the main authors in this field and argue that much of the education management literature is often devoid of any context, offering only a weak problem solving approach to complex educational issues.
If you don't want to be an eductional management "sheep" following the flock then buy this book and discover the alternative voice of management.
An excellent read for anyone in a management position in education.
