Talking with Hedrick Smith

Article Abstract:

Hedrick Smith, author and Pulitzer Prize winner, feels that America needs to train, educate, and motivate people for global competition. He believes that only 1% of US schools have catered to the need for flexibility in organizations and increasing the capabilities of employees. Smith argues that the US lacks an effective educational strategy for non-college-bound students. On-the-job training can ensure that companies get the best equipment and well trained employees. The US can benefit by adapting the German strategy of linking education to work and collaborating with businesses.
