Introduction Education is a complex process which involves different components such as pupils, teachers, employees, building, money, equipment, rules and regulations etc. All these components have to be managed properly in order to run the entire process smoothly. Educational Administration deals with all these components of education and integrates the different parts into a comprehensive whole for the smooth functioning of educational process. We all know that for any process to run, we need different components, a proper procedure and a machinery to fulfill its specific end in view. Educational administration is a comprehensive effort to integrate different components of education to achieve the aim and objectives of education. It is a dynamic side of education, which generally deals with the educational practices. Educational administration always deals with an educational organization or institution right from school, college, to university or any other seat of higher learning. It also deals with the different aspects of education such as planning, decision making, implementation of educational policies, evaluation, framing and implementing rules and regulations of the institution, finances, and different problems of pupils, teachers, employees and above all, realization of some specific aims of education.

This is essential reading for all teachers who aspire to management, as well as for experienced leaders on Masters’ level courses, and for those studying school management as part of education degrees.
The field of Educational Leadership and Management originated and grew to maturity in the Western societies of the USA, UK and Australia. However, since the mid-1990s, scholars in east Asia have asserted the need to ground leadership theories and practices in the 'local contexts' in which school leaders practice. Mastering Theories of Educational Leadership and Management is one of the first volumes published which seeks to do this. The edited chapters illustrate and elaborate how perspectives on key concepts and theories of educational leadership are being interpreted and enacted in East Asian societies. By doing so the book makes a valuable contribution which will hopefully reduce the gap between theories as explained by Western scholars and practices as enacted in East Asian societies. ~ Professor Dr. Philip Hallinger
