It is no longer a question of whether education should become a market for entrepreneurs but how they can operate most efficiently and effectively. This collection of 13 articles is a serious
and systematic assessment of how educational entrepreneurship got started and why, how it is working in a variety of situations, and what the US can expect. Topics include the element of risk
in the reinvention of education along entrepreneurial lines, the nature and function of educational entrepreneurship, the people attracted to the field and shat they actually do to expand it,
the complex and sometimes conflicting policies on educational entrepreneurship from place to place, the K-12 and postsecondary sectors, the pitfalls and promise of K-12 for-profit education,
entrepreneurship within school districts, the role of organizational culture, reasons for debate, the resistant culture and the bias against profit, and the role of politics. Annotation ©2006
