Few studies of school leadership succession document the processes of continuity and change, especially within situations where there has been a strong tradition of tenure of principal, within a ‘quality’ school. This article examines how a new principal with a commitment towards notions of Learning Community Schools, ‘quality’ teaching and leadership, followed on from a long-standing prior principal with a more hierarchical and ‘traditional’ approach to leadership.
At the same time, the prior principal had engaged community, and effectively contributed to the considerable status of his school within the district. Hence, the article examines the processes by which the school continued to be effective, in major part due to a smooth leadership transition that acknowledged and built upon the strengths of both the former and incumbent principals.
In short, a context of continuity and change in leadership succession. Accordingly, the research adds to a small body of literature in increasing our knowledge base about leadership succession in a context of stability and continuity, rather than crisis. Click here to read more…

A Case Study on Defining a Private Business Process in a Knowledge Base
Executive Summary: As organizations are moving to an abstract level of software development, IT managers generally find their software development tool base difficult to change. Often, there are multiple, purpose-specific tools, which are not integrated with each other well. Hence, substituting tools is not an easy venture and usually results in retraining of software development staff.
The Business Process Management Ontology (BPMO): Today’s business integration landscape suffers from many deficiencies. For example, business process execution languages only standardize the technical aspects of process integration. They ignore the business semantics, such as which data elements are required in a purchase order. Similarly, there is no answer to the question what constitutes a binding business transaction. The list could go on and on. As a result, semantic differences remain the primary roadblock to smooth integration. Ontologies are a way to solve these issues. Click here to read more…
Case Study on MSB International
UK-based MSB International knew the script because it has happened to countless companies before: the bigger they got, the less efficient they became because the corporate infrastructure, employee knowledge base and customers are so dispersed. With more than 218,258 contractors in its database and close to 54,994 European client contacts, MSB was determined to avoid a downgrade in customer service, the raison d’etre of its service-based employee recruitment business. The company has maintained its position as a leading provider of global human capital management solutions. Click here to read more…

Case Study: Market Assessment & Sizing
The market research methodology was designed with three stages. The first stage was to meet with our Client and find out what knowledge they had on the market already so as not to be going over the same ground within the research and ensure that we were all starting off from the same knowledge base. The second stage was a desk research phase where we had to build up a list of targets who were currently using the product of interest/could use the product in the future. Click here to read more…
Case Study on Langbar International
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) report Managing Profitable Construction states that construction companies with higher skills “make more money, complete more projects on time and have more satisfied clients” (CITB, 2000). It is a view widely accepted by industry bodies such as the Construction Industry Council (CIC), professional organisations and the UK Government.
The DfES White Paper The future of higher education (DfES, 2003), for example, seeks to encourage the exchange and development of knowledge and skills by: strengthening the Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF); using HEIF to support Knowledge Exchanges; and helping Sector Skills Councils to broker collaborations between business and universities (paras. 3.4:3.9). Similarly Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs), another government initiative introduced in mid-2003, seeks to enhance business performance through the better use of knowledge and skills that reside within the UK knowledge base (DTI, 2005).

Qualitative Case Study Research Method
Case study does not claim any particular methods for data collection or data analysis. Any and all methods of gathering data from testing to interviewing can be used in a case study, although certain techniques are used more than others. (Merriam, 1988) This study guide is concerned with qualitative case study research as opposed to quantitative because of two reasons. First, I agree with Merriam (1988) that research focused on discovery, insight and understanding from the perspectives of those being studied offers the greatest promise of making significant contributions to the knowledge base and practice of education.
Qualitative Case Study Research approaches a problem of practice from a holistic perspective in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the situation and its meaning for those involved. The interest is in process rather than outcomes, in context rather than a specific variable, in discovery rather than in conformation. Such insights into aspects of educational practice can have a direct influence on policy, practice and future research. Second, most case studies in education are qualitative and hypothesis-generating rather than quantitative and hypothesis-testing.
Qualitative vs. Quantative research:A qualitative research is defined as an inquiry process of understanding a social or human problem, based on building a complex, holistic pictures, formed with words, reporting detailed views of informants, and conducted in a natural setting. A quantitative research is an inquiry into a social or human problem, based on testing a theory composed of variables, measured with numbers, and analyzed with statistical procedures, in order to determine whether the predictive generalizations of the theory true. (Creswell, 1994)Creswell (1994) suggests 5 criteria in selecting between qualitative and quantitative research, namely,
1) researcher’s Worldview
2) the training and experience of the researcher
3) researcher’s psychological attributes
4) nature of the problem
5) audience for the studyRead more on Qualitative case study
