Heads Up! The EMOs Are Coming.
Furtwengler, Carol B.
Educational Leadership, v56 n2 p44-47 Oct 1998

Major investment houses consider public education a $300 billion industry ripe for picking, due to three driving market forces--cost, quality, and consumer confidence. Three EMOs (TesseracT Group, Edison Project and SABIS Educational Systems) are evaluated. (19 references) (MLH)
