The Invisible Hand: Big Business and Chicago School Reform by Dorothy Shipps — 1997Business influence in public school policymaking has been much noticed but little
studied at the local level where policy is implemented. This article examines
Chicago’s governance reforms of the past decade as one case of corporate influence,
clarifying how local political institutions and corporate organizational resources
facilitated and shaped that involvement and the resulting school governance
reforms. A wider variety of corporate influence patterns than is typically acknowledged
is suggested by this case where corporate associations were involved in both
policymaking and policy implementation. When corporate activism is accounted for,
Chicago governance reform is seen primarily as replacing professional control with
modern management techniques and structures, and only secondarily as the revitalization
of democratic governance.To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropropriate membership. Please review your options below:
