Overview & Synopsis

Approximately 180 organizations are listed and described in this directory which was designed to inform educators and researchers about organizations that provide or are interested in business and/or economic education materials and information. The directory was compiled to provide an initial review of the many organizations in the field of business and economic education. Each citation contains the title of the organization; address; phone number; name of president or public relations director; a brief statement of objective; information about the organization, including staff and budget; and an overview of program activities. The directory concludes with a listing of chairs of business and free enterprise at American universities and colleges, an outline of topics which might be studied in an economics education seminar, an overview of topics which Standard Oil Company (Indiana) thinks students should study in a unit on the American market system, an explanation of corporate support of economic education, a copy of a proposal which a group interested in economic education might submit to a corporation for funding, and a list of 25 questions to be answered in planning an economic education program.
