Management and Marketing Education

The article presents a transcript of a forum held by the publication on the subject of management reform in U.S. public schools. Professor Lyman Porter believes public education has not traditionally received much attention from management scholars, despite it being a matter of great concern to policy makers and the general public. Professor William Ouchi discusses the importance of autonomy and describes action taken by the business community in Seattle, Washington to promote change-oriented candidates for the local school board. Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle discusses reforms in public education her state has embraced.
