Holding the trump cards Education in standardization

摘要

In a world on the move, at a speed never equaled, is there time for the "luxury" of standards education? Can high-or middle-ranking company executives, already stressed and overstretched, take time off to learn about how standards work? Is it desirable to add standardization to a curriculum and "teach" it as a discipline to students? Should there be such a person as "a standardizer", or just a "standards-educated expert"? A review of standards education last appeared in the ISO Bulletin of June 1999 on the theme "Schooled to standardize?" The current issue brings this topic again to the fore with updated approaches and significant new progress to report with the use of e-learning beginning in force.
