A longitudinal case study of NPM reforms’ influence on strategic management in upper secondary schools
Study Paper No. 75

Written by: Jesper Rosenberg Hansen and Christian Bøtcher Jacobsen

This paper analyses how an NPM reform in Denmark in 2007, which introduced self-government in high schools, affected the extent and character of strategic leadership in these institutions.
