Megatrends: Megahype, Megabad.
Goldman, Louis
Educational Leadership, v41 n1 p55-57 Sep 1983
Criticizes John Naisbitt's bestselling novel, "Megatrends," for reifying constructs (industrial society and information society), treating these entities as mutually exclusive, and endowing them with a life cycle. In addition, claims the novel is marred by faddish jargon and is statistically unreliable. (MLF)
