Abstract
Examines the prospects for private management in U.S. public schools. Focuses on the education and business strategies of firms seeking to expand as a result of charter school legislation that allowed for-profit entities to enter and compete for students with access to public funding. Focuses on the business and education strategies of three leaders in for- profit education, the Edison Project, Sabis International, and Education Alternatives, Inc. (EAI). Asks whether any of these firms have devised a sustainable strategy for the opportunities and challenges that lay ahead.; Uses the education sector to suggest the business imperative not only to devise a strategy to create value, but to establish an overall structure that allows firms to claim a predictable portion of the value they create. Focuses on the opportunities presented by charter school legislation. Can be used to teach more generalizable propositions about the challenges of for-profit entities in areas where dimensions of service delivery are hard to measure.
