Factors behind sustainable business innovation
A general definition for sustainability-oriented innovation is proposed. • A case study of sustainability-oriented innovation at Interface is presented. • Innovation failures and successes are discussed. • Based on the case, contextual factors for successful sustainability-oriented innovation are described. Innovation is critical to business. Sustainability is a global challenge requiring innovation. Many organizations have publicly committed to …
Changes and improvements in schools’ effectiveness
It is widely assumed that some schools improve more rapidly than others. However, unlike the well‐established finding that schools differ in their effectiveness, evidence that schools improve at different rates is sparse. Using data on pupils’ examination results and prior achievements from five cohorts of pupils passing through over 30 schools in one LEA, the study considers three questions. First, the extent to which some schools improve more r…
The 'Discouraged Worker' Revisited
A recent analysis of data from Scotland found evidence of 'discouraged worker' effects. More young people stayed on in full-time education post-16 in areas of high adult unemployment than in areas of low unemployment; this was particularly true for those with middling-level qualifications. Using comparable data on English young people the paper attempts to replicate the Scottish analysis. Although evidence of local labour market effects is offere…
Educational Performance Assessment
The recent widespread introduction of devolved financial management for schools in England and Wales has increased the importance of there being an appropriate analytical framework within which the performance of individual schools can be assessed. This paper examines one such framework that can combine economic insights into the multidimensional activity of transforming resource inputs into desirable educational outcomes for a school’s given pup…
The search for a fairer way of comparing schools’ examination results
The basic question we address in this paper is a straightforward one. How can ‘fairer’ comparisons be made between the results of individual secondary schools? This is a question which has preoccupied researchers of school effectiveness over much of the past decade. It is one, however, which has assumed still greater importance in the light of the recent requirement of the 1980 Education Act, in a climate of demands for greater ‘accountability’ i…
Some Determinants of Variations in Expenditure on Secondary Education
The claims of educational expenditure on the public purse are large and, until recently, have been growing. In a period of increased concern for accountability in the public sector it is not surprising to find attention increasingly directed to this rather neglected aspect of the education service. Two recent publications by the Department of Education and Science, under the title ‘School Standards and Spending’ (DES, 1983, 1984), have addressed …
