Business of school leadership a practical guide for managing the business dimension of schools - Smith, Larry (ACER Press, 2010)
Includes bibliographical references (pages 119-131)

They are now required to be not only leading educators but also effective business persons. The reality is, however, that most school leaders have little if any formal training for these business roles, and very limited personal experience in managing these matters. The intention of this book is to assist school leaders to understand and develop the knowledge and skills of business processes. The book does not aim to convert school leaders into accountants or entrepreneurs
