Professionalism is currently undergoing a process of radical
change. Changes in the welfare state and in the market place have
impacted upon professional organizations forcing them to change the
ways in which they perform their jobs. This book analyzes these
changes in relation to the legal industry and other professions
such as doctors and accountants. It argues that the shift is being
driven by the powerful and informed corporate client whilst it
downgrades consideration for the weaker uninformed client with many
casualties as a result. It highlights how this shift has become an
important political issue as the different camps seek support from
political parties. It suggests that the resulting contest will be
one of the key political struggles of the first decade of the next
century.
What isn't management and why doesn't it matter? This compelling
book leads the reader away from the stories told by managers and
management theories to show the secret history of the field. In
characterizing the progress of management as a war on workers, this
book offers a controversial and revealing alternative intellectual
history of this overwhelming discipline. The author employs a
unique range of theories and sources, including the founding
fathers of management, US labour and social history, and earlier
intellectual figures such as Marx and Weber alongside the
contemporary insights of Foucault and European and American
workerist and post-workerist thought, to shed light on the world of
management. This book is key reading for researchers and students
across the social sciences. With a controversial and stimulating
approach, it also engages readers with a general interest in
business and management issues.
