Abstract

Management, Organization, Structure. Theoretical Considerations and Empirical Evidence on Changes in the Management of Educational Or- ganizations«. Based on a critique of rather narrow, economy-centered concepts of management, this article develops an alternative conceptualization that fo- cuses on function-specific solutions to the problem of coordination in organiza- tions. Drawing on Niklas LUHMANN's theory of organization we describe management in structural terms as related to organizational programs, channels of communication, persons and positions. We conclude by analyzing transfor- mations of management in educational organizations and demonstrate how our re-conceptualization of management can be applied in empirical research.
