	Critical e-mail by DOE aide riles consultant - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		William Ouchi, a professor in corporate renewal at the University of California-Los Angeles who is working with Lingle on education reform, said yesterday that he was angry and upset over e-mail that Greg Knudsen, the DOE's communications director, sent to Ouchi's dean at UCLA.
		Ouchi responded yesterday by sending a letter to the state Board of Education asking for an inquiry into whether Knudsen was acting on his own or on behalf of the board or the DOE.
		Ouchi was the co-author of a recent report to Lingle that was critical of DOE finances and that concluded that the DOE was too large and inefficient to handle a new student spending formula.

		Drawing on the results of a landmark study of 223 schools in six cities that Dr. Ouchi supervised, which was funded in part by the National Science Foundation, Making Schools Work shows that a school’s educational performance may be most directly affected by how the school is managed.

	Virtues of the M-Form Society - Japan Human Resource Management
		William Ouchi sees society as in an economic gridlock, and argues that the American government does not help provide solutions for real problems faced by businesses.
		Still, Ouchi emphasises that MITI is part of a network that again resembles the M-Form Structure: "In essence, MITI and the trade associations of Japan together constitute a network that is the social memory, the community, of the Japanese economy".
		William Ouchi’s theory of the M-Structure Organisation does in many ways fall into the same category as Chalmers Johnson’s "MITI and the Japanese Miracle".

		Ouchi likes charter schools because they trade away some state funding for getting out from district control.

		The purpose of this paper is to discuss two theorists, Douglas McGregor and William Ouchi, and the theories, which made them well known in the organisational development and management arenas.
		McGregor, with his "Theory X" and "Theory Y", and Ouchi, with the notion of a "Theory Z", both look at the attitudes of managers and workers with very similar, as well as contrasting views of how workers are perceived by management, and how workers perceive their role in the company.
		That is to say that under Ouchi's theory, managers must be more supportive and trusting of their employees, in order to receive the benefit of increased participation in the decisions of the company.

	Schools official won't be punished - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		In a letter to the BOE on Friday, Ouchi asked for an inquiry into whether Knudsen was acting on his own or at the direction of the board or the DOE when he sent the e-mail.

		Ouchi was also the co-author of a report to the governor that claimed that less than half of the money spent on education in Hawai'i reaches the classroom and that the DOE, as it is structured now, could not implement a new student spending formula.

	douglas mcgregor's motivational theory x theory y
		William Ouchi is professor of management at UCLA, Los Angeles, and a board member of several large US organisations.
		Theory Z is often referred to as the 'Japanese' management style, which is essentially what it is. It's interesting that Ouchi chose to name his model 'Theory Z', which apart from anything else tends to give the impression that it's a Mcgregor idea.
		There is no doubt that Ouchi's Theory Z model offers excellent ideas, albeit it lacking the simple elegance of Mcgregor's model, which let's face it, thousands of organisations and managers around the world have still yet to embrace.

		Ouchi held a press conference at Gov. Linda Lingle's office yesterday to release a letter he was sending to the chairman of the Board of Education asking that Knudsen be reprimanded for what he described as "shameful" behavior.
		Ouchi said he would not have objected if the e-mail was from an ordinary citizen, but was outraged that it appeared to be sent in an official capacity.
		Ouchi said he had been reimbursed about $2,000 to $3,000 for his trips to Honolulu by the Hawaiian Educational Council.

	Principals of Leadership--UCLA Magazine
		MUCH OF WHAT IS TAUGHT AT PLI ties in with the school-administration approach that is advocated by one of the institute's noted faculty, William Ouchi, the Sanford and Betty Sigoloff Professor of Corporate Renewal in the Anderson School.
		For Ouchi, the ideal school-management scenario is one where the principal is a "consultative leader," one who has final say but consults with the employees before making a decision.
		The notion seems simple enough — give principals control over their school's budget and let them make decisions based on their specific needs — but it's an idea that flies in the face of how schools have traditionally been run, with nearly 90 percent of individual school budgeting typically done at the district level.

	TIME.com: An Attractive Japanese Export -- Mar. 2, 1981 -- Page 1
		Ouchi uses the terminology of Douglas McGregor, the late professor at M.I.T. who distinguished between two basic types of management attitudes in U.S. business: so-called Theory X bosses, who believe that workers are basically lazy and untrustworthy, and Theory Y managers, who hold the opposite view.
		Ouchi argues that such corporations can be models for many American firms struggling with problems of high employee turnover, declining productivity and generalized worker alienation.
		Japanese companies are structured around a powerful, bonding attachment between workers and their firms, and Ouchi focuses on the ways that managers help to reinforce and strengthen the bond.

		William Ouchi made his name by writing Theory Z (1980), which sought to transcend Doug MacGregor’s classic of 20 years prior – you know, the one that split the workforce into Theory X (drones) and Theory Y (humanistic quest-seekers).
		Ouchi offers four steps that are heavy on “intimacy and community.” One gets the feeling that he is reporting on reflections – of excellence, from several of his great schools – in a way that confuses the tactical results with the strategic causes.
		Everything is addressed here, much of it non-commitally, and in a way that lets Ouchi come back to his Seven Keys.

		UCLA management professor William Ouchi has studied 223 schools in the major cities of North America.
		According to Ouchi, the central elements of the Edmonton public school revolution are "(e)ntrepreneurial principals, school-controlled budgets, accountability, decentralization, a strong focus on student achievement, school choice and a community approach, meaning there is a consistent belief among school staff about how to meet students' needs and use available resources."
		According to Ouchi, Edmonton spends a higher percentage of educational dollars in classrooms than any other big city school district in North America.
