Professions and professional activity are undergoing dramatic
changes as we approach the millennium. This volume presents an
overview of conceptual issues and considers the practical issues
facing professionals today. It has two key objectives: to
understand the nature of the changes in professional activity; and
to see this restructuring in the context of wider socio-economic
processes. Examining the professional areas of medicine, education,
law and accountancy, the authors illustrate how the nature of
professional activity is changing, and how decision making power is
being shifted away from the holders of specialized knowledge and
towards clients and managers. Although this might seem to signify
an end to traditional notions of professionalism involving trust,
responsibility and self-organization, they argue that this does not
necessarily mean an end to professionalism itself, but rather a
rethinking of its significance and functioning. This process is of
central importance to political economists, sociologists,
organization and management theorists, and anyone who is trying to
understand the significance of professional organization in modern
British society.
