Globalization, Technological Change, and Public Education
Globalization, Technological Change, and Public Education documents the dramatic changes taking place in public education through the incorporation of new information technologies.

Yet a closer look at the interplay of technological change and organizational restructuring suggests the emergence of new, less promising power relations. Through detailed ethnographic research and interviews in the Los Angeles public school system, Torin Monahan reveals how, with few exceptions, these changes to the educational process are forcing both students and workers to adapt to systems that are ever more rigid and controlling.

The technological revolution has reached around the world, with important consequences for business, government, and the labor market. Computer-aided design, telecommunications, and other developments are allowing small players to compete with traditional giants in manufacturing and other fields.

From various perspectives, these distinguished commentators describe the practical aspects of technology's reach into business and trade.
