This book explores recent theoretical and empirical advances in the
understanding of how professional and knowledge-based occupations
are organised. Focusing in particular on the differences between
established and emerging forms of expert work, this collection of
papers are representative of recent authoritative work in this
rapidly developing field. Theauthors suggests that despite some
serious challenges, professionalism retains its viability as a work
organisation method and continues to exercise a strong influence on
the organisation and delivery of expertise.
This book offers a new and insightful analysis of the effectiveness of the public sector reforms that have been put in place in the UK over the last twenty years. It represents a different type of approach, in that it looks at the effects of reform by examining the actual social organization of the groups the various policy measures have impacted. It moves away from the emphasis of general writing on the New Public Managerialism which, in terms of overall assessment, either assumes that the reforms will work, or that they are entirely inappropriate and will produce changes that are uniformly poor. This book seeks a more careful appraisal in which important effects are distinguished and examined.
This book explores recent theoretical and empirical advances in the

theoretical perspectives on this rapidly developing field.
The New Managerialism and Public Service Professionals is a fresh
and insightful analysis of the changes that have taken place in the
UK public sector over the past twenty years. Unlike many other
recent accounts it is not assumed that these policy goals were
always implemented or that new approaches to the management of
services are necessarily effective. Drawing on an extensive review
of major published research it considers developments in three
areas: the National Health Service, social services and housing.
This analysis reveals marked differences in the way the professions
responded to change and draws attention to some significant costs
associated with restructuring.
