ABSTRACT
Louis V.Gerstner, Jr., had a busy year in 1993. He was recruited from RJR Nabisco to become the CEO of IBM. He was also the principal author of a book that berated American schools and teachers.1 In that book, he held educators accountable for not increasing America’s supply of world-class workers-those with high-tech skills and problem-solving abilities-that he claimed the corporations sorely needed.
