Public Policy Analysis: Changing the Corporate Playing Field in Public Affairs
Tuesday Policy Forum
May 1, 2012, 12:15-1:20 PM, 1203 Van Munching Hall
A recent development in the American corporate world is the creation of in-house public policy analysis capabilities at leading American business corporations. Helaine Klasky is directing such an effort at General Electric. She will discuss the extent of this trend and the factors that are motivating businesses to expand their own abilities to undertake public policy analyses of the kind traditionally taught at schools of public policy. If this trend continues, it could have important implications for public policy schools, including closer relations with the American business community, and wider markets for the services of public policy analysts.
