Private Enterprise in American Education
Private Enterprise in American Education A MERICAN E NTERPRISE I NSTITUTE Special Report 7 Focus on For-Profits in K–12 Education Misses the Real Divide Alex Hernandez | November 2012 Special Report 7 Private Enterprise in American Education Foreword For decades, for-profit educational provision has been merely tolerated, often grudgingly. In the world of charter schooling, for-profit providers are lambasted and sometimes prohibited. In higher education, for- profit institutions have grown rapidly, enrolling millions of nontraditional students and earning enmity, suspicion, and now investigative and regulatory actions from the federal government. When it comes to student lending, teacher quality, and school turnarounds, there is a profound preference for nonprofit or public alternatives. All of this is so familiar as to be unremarkable. The problem is that K–12 and higher education are desperately in need of the innovative thinking and nimble adaptation that for-profits can provide in a landscape characterized by healthy markets and well-designed incentives. As critics have noted, for-profits do indeed have incentives to cut corners, aggres- sively pursue customers, and seek profits. But these traits are the flip side of valuable characteristics: the inclination to grow rapidly, readily tap capital and talent, maximize cost effectiveness, and accommodate customer needs. Alongside nonprofit and public providers, for-profits have a crucial role to play in meeting America’s 21st-century educational challenges cost-effectively and at scale. However, we rarely address for-profit provision in this fashion. Most statutory and regulatory discus- sion focuses on how to rein in for-profit providers, largely ignoring what it would take to harness the potential of such providers while establishing the incentives and accountability measures to ensure a level, dynamic, and performance-oriented playing field.

On the grounds of media sharing in social networks, visualisation mash-ups and early hypertext idea of associative “trails”, the opportunity for a new system to explore and enjoy connections among mainly linear media is de- vised. A novel system called VERTIGO is to be crafted to tackle the current limitations in media consumption across different contexts. On the end-user side, VERTIGO would provide a context-aware, personalised and proactive dashboard with innovative discovery and interaction capabilities; on the enter- prise side, media professionals would gain access to a common platform ena- bling new collaboration models in the value network.

Long standing models in broadcasting, movies and music sectors are threatened by the overwhelming success of the Internet. Yet there is lim- ited experience of successful endeavours in bringing the best out of the once clearly separated worlds of mass media and personal technologies.
