A case study of the implementation of Tom Peter's excellence model in the Canfield (OH) local schools, 1986-1993

Title:	A case study of the implementation of Tom Peter's excellence model in the Canfield (OH) local schools, 1986-1993
Author:	Rottenborn, Joseph F.
Description:	This post hoc, descriptive case study sought to determine the utility of Tom Peters’ excellence model (Peters & Austin, 1985) for and educational organization. The study attempted to refine Peters’ theory by analyzing and evaluating the experience of the Canfield (OH) Local Schools in implementing this model during the period 1986-1993. Questions addressed were these: (a) Which components of Peters’ excellence model, as implemented in this school district, proved useful to an educational organization—particularly, regarding the implementation of specific innovations? and (b) What were the limitations of Peters’ model, as implemented in Canfield? Factors considered included the model’s four components, as operationalized in Canfield, and four specific innovations implemented by the school district. This study indicated that Canfield Local had, in fact, implemented Peters’ model’s four components; however, the effectiveness of strategies employed to implement Peters’ model varied. Further, the utility of each model component was not equal for this school district and varied according to the innovation implemented.
