Abstract

Some contemporary writers have strongly attacked traditional theories of educational administration, but few with the vehemence and public recognition of T.B. Greenfield. The alternative view of educational organizations proposed by Greenfield has attracted the attention of administrators, theorists, and researchers around the world. By considering this perspective in relation to three major systems views of schools and other organizations, the author examines the contribution of Greenfield's "Alternative Theory" to current educational administration practice and scholarship
