1. 15:56 – 27:35 : Chris explores the impact of the credit crunch on middle-market education industry transactions, and how innovative companies command robust buyer interest and strong valuations despite a weak economic environment. While highly leveraged deals are still difficult, there is ample credit available to buyers of companies with a solid market position and a knack for innovation.
2. 43:40 – 45:40 : Chris discusses the changing K-12 landscape and how the major players are adapting to the shifting imperatives of a dymamic market. Some educated guesses on the future of high-stakes tasting.
3. 48:41 – 50:57 Is the textbook paradigm dead? At the very least, it's mortally wounded. Technology isn't always the answer, but with growing pressure for better outcomes in the classroom, schools are increasingly open to innovative approaches.
