A Solution without a Problem: The Development of a Program in a Community Which Doesn't Need It.

Shermis, Mark D.

This paper uses the Engineering Industrial Support Program (EISP) as an example for suggesting methods to program evaluators of separating corporate interests from community interests. It also presents alternatives for dealing with organizational resistance. The problems involved in creating and implementing EISP in three Michigan school districts are described. The paper consists of three parts: (1) program description and goals, (2) process problems and microanalysis, and (3) macroanalysis and discussion. (Author/SA)
