Abstract
The terminology used to characterize school organization has shifted over the past 50 years, as noted by Scott Eacott. He argues that leadership has become the dominant focus of research attention in educational administration, but he adds that this is largely a change of label rather than substance. It should be noted that, in some contexts, including the UK, management supplanted administration as early as the 1980s, because administration in this context tends to denote routine processes.
