This course provides a comprehensive exploration of administrative theory and decision-making processes in educational organizations. Drawing primarily from Herbert Simon's seminal work "Administrative Behavior," students examine the foundations of organizational decision-making, administrative rationality, and the complex dynamics that shape leadership in educational settings. The course emphasizes the psychological, social, and structural factors that influence administrative decisions, organizational efficiency, and the role of authority, communication, and organizational loyalty in both K-12 and higher education contexts.
