Professions and professionalism have played an integral part in
business and society. In this book, Mike Saks provides a thorough
overview of this field through an analysis of a range of
professions, including, amongst others, accountants, doctors and
lawyers. The book offers a critical analysis of such privileged
occupational groups in modern societies. Anticipating a positive if
changing role for such groups in the years ahead, the book outlines
conflicting theoretical perspectives on professions and discusses
current developments in an accessible, multi-disciplinary style.
The book documents their evolution and contemporary transformation
from medieval guilds to fully-fledged professions and international
professional service firms, while pointing a path towards their
future in the world of work and beyond. With insights into the
recent challenges provided by clients, citizens, the state and
corporations in neo-liberal societies, Professions provides a
concise overview that will be essential reading for students,
academics and others interested in the operation of these key
occupational groups in business and society.
