Evaluation--whether called by this name, quality assurance, audit,
accreditation, or others--is an important social activity. Any
organization that "lives in public" must now evaluate its
activities, be evaluated by others, or evaluate others. What are
the origins of this wave of evaluation? And, what worthwhile
results emerge from it?
"The Evaluation Society" argues that if we want to understand many
of the norms, values, and expectations that we, sometimes
unknowingly, bring to evaluation, we should explore how evaluation
is demanded, formatted, and shaped by two great principles of
social order: organization and society. With this understanding, we
can more conscientiously participate in evaluation processes;
better position ourselves to understand many of the mysteries,
tensions, and paradoxes in evaluation; and use evaluation in a more
informed way. After exploring the sociology and organization of
evaluation in this landmark work, author Peter Dahler-Larsen
concludes by discussing issues that are critical for the future of
evaluation--as a discipline and a societal norm.
