A Past Lost -- Bibliographic Note -- Notes -- IndexThroughout the twentieth century, local control of school districts was one of the most contentious issues in American politics. As state and federal regulation attempted to standardize public schools, conservatives defended local prerogative as a bulwark of democratic values. Yet their commitment to those values was shifting and selective. In The Fight for Local Control, Campbell F. Scribner demonstrates how, in the decades after World War II, suburban communities appropriated legacies of rural education to assert their political autonomy and in the process radically changed educational law. Scribner's account unfolds on the metropolitan fringe, where rapid suburbanization overlapped with the consolidation of thousands of small rural schools. Rural residents initially clashed with their new neighbors, but by the 1960s the groups had rallied to resist government oversight. What began as residual opposition to school consolidation would transform into campaigns against race-based busing, unionized teachers, tax equalization, and secular curriculum. In case after case, suburban conservatives carved out new rights for local autonomy, stifling equal educational opportunity.Yet Scribner also provides insight into why many conservatives have since abandoned localism for policies that stress school choice and federal accountability. In the 1970s, as new battles arose over unions, textbooks, and taxes, districts on the rural-suburban fringe became the first to assert individual choice in the form of school vouchers, religious exemptions, and a marketplace model of education. At the same time, they began to embrace tax limitation and standardized testing, policies that checked educational bureaucracy but bypassed local school boards. The effect, Scribner concludes, has been to reinforce inequalities between districts while weakening participatory government within them, keeping the worst aspects of local control in place while forfeiting its virtues.American institutions and society.Education and stateUnited StatesHistory20th centuryEducationPolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryDemocracy and educationUnited StatesHistory20th centuryEducational changePolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centurySuburban schoolsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryEducation and stateHistoryEducationPolitical aspectsHistoryDemocracy and educationHistoryEducational changePolitical aspectsHistorySuburban schoolsHistory379.73Scribner Campbell F.1981-2013,1611214MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808052403321The fight for local control3939355UNINA06792nam 22006615 450 991033780240332120251010083500.03-030-15409-210.1007/978-3-030-15409-7(CKB)4100000008493451(DE-He213)978-3-030-15409-7(MiAaPQ)EBC5799391(PPN)242824234(EXLCZ)99410000000849345120190624d2019 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierR&D Management in the Knowledge Era Challenges of Emerging Technologies /edited by Tuğrul Daim, Marina Dabić, Nuri Başoğlu, João Ricardo Lavoie, Brian J.

The contributions are organized in five parts. Part I, Managing Emerging Technologies, provides methods and tools to understand the challenges created by the emergence of new technologies. Part II, Technology and Engineering Management Tools and Policies, explores different technology and engineering tools, including topics such as product concept development, design, selection and adoption, using technology roadmaps and bibliometrics. Part III, Technological Innovation and Entrepreneurship, explores R&D, knowledge transfer and entrepreneurial education. Part IV, Commercialization of Technological Innovations, explores the development and application of the technology transfer process which allows managers to succeed in commercializing the outcomes of R&D projects. Part V,Managing the Engineering Enterprise, explores the effect economic decision-making, leadership styles, change management and quality management have on an organization’s ability to plan and execute initiatives and projects. Research and Development has always played a critical role in the engineering and technology focused industries. In an era of big data and smart applications, knowledge has become a key enabler for R&D. Managing R&D in the knowledge era requires use of key tools and methods. However, emerging technologies pose many challenges and cause uncertainties or discontinuities, which make the task of managing R&D even more difficult. This book will examine these challenges and provide tools and methods to overcome them. Exploring such industries as automotive, healthcare, business intelligence, energy and home appliances, this book is a valuable resource for academics, scholars, professionals and leaders in innovation, R&D, technology, and engineering management.Innovation, Technology, and Knowledge Management,2197-5701Technological innovationsEconomic developmentEntrepreneurshipNew business enterprisesIndustrial managementInnovation and Technology ManagementEconomic Development, Innovation and GrowthEntrepreneurshipIndustrial ManagementTechnological innovations.Economic development.Entrepreneurship.New business enterprises.Industrial management.Innovation and Technology Management.Economic Development, Innovation and Growth.Entrepreneurship.Industrial Management.658.514658.514Daim Tuğruledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDabić Marinaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBaşoğlu Nuriedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLavoie João Ricardoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGalli Brian J.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910337802403321R&D Management in the Knowledge Era2292423UNINA
