Starting with a discussion of the virtual organization-virtual delivery interface, Carchidi compares interview-based case studies of the shaping of five US-based virtual universities by "metamanagement" patterns. In reviewing problems faced by the developing knowledge industry, he concludes that one must look beyond adaptation models to historical and organizational contexts to understand the processes by which such experimental institutions can deliver marketable educational products. Appended is the author's typology of education organizational forms supporting distance learning delivery networks affiliated with postsecondary institutions in California, Colorado, Maine, and Pennsylvania. Based on a doctoral project at the U. of Michigan's Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education. Distributed in the US by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c.
