Charter schools have only a brief history in education. In this book, scholars investigate success factors, challenges, internal operations, and mission management strategies to build stronger, more effective charter schools.

In order to provide charter school leaders with the organisational tools necessary for success, this presents an innovative management approach on the alignment of three core elements: mission statement, operational capacity, and stakeholder management. It delves into each area, employing eight new case studies and cutting-edge research in management theory to explore the challenges and opportunities facing school leaders and offering concrete, practice-oriented guidance.
