Educating America: Lessons Learned in the Nation's Corporations

By Jack E. Bowsher

Public education can learn from corporate training programs Jack Bowsher, who helped control a billion-dollar-a-year budget as Director of Education at IBM (now retired), has a proven track record in education and training. This book outlines an incisive, workable program for the revival of our educational system. Bowsher takes a close look at what's wrong with our schools, and tells why many solutions'' don't work. He then applies the best elements of corporate education--such as incentives and accountability--to public education, arguing against blindly throwing more money and more teachers into an already troubled system.
