Main Approach Ideas for Stakeholders’ Model in Israeli School

This paper overviews the development of stakeholdersStakeholders’ theory and its implementation in Israeli school. Teachers, parents, and school principals are analyzed by their stakeholderStakeholders style in a modern school. Bibu and Saris (Bibu and Saris in Revista de Management Comparat International 2:200–216, 2017) point out that the stakeholder’sStakeholders model is appropriate for a modern school of globalization era in general, in Israel in particular. The long way from shareholders to stakeholdersStakeholders’ emphasis reflects changes that took place in the whole society. Their study demonstrated that the stakeholderStakeholders model which originally was designed for businessBusiness, may be successfully implemented at school and cause improvement in both pupils’ achievementsAchievements and the school climateSchool climate. Israeli school in the Arab sector who chose to implement the model first—became a story of success not just in the Arab sector, but also in the whole Northern region of Israel. Therefore, the stakeholdersStakeholders’ model should be used in the educational sector, although it is a managerial one, developed for businessBusiness organizationsOrganizations. As of today, the authors did not finally build their empirical implementation steps, but they are looking for interesting and innovative alternatives for the new digitalDigital era of schools—such as the skills-based model proposed by Connolly et al. (Connolly et al. in Edu Manag Adm Leadersh 45:5–19, 2017), where stakeholdersStakeholders’ teams are built on the basis of their expertise and not their interest in the institution.
