Description

Professions and professional activity are undergoing dramatic changes as we approach the millenium. This interdisciplinary volume presents an overview ofconceptual issues and considers the practical issues facing professionals today. It has two key objectives: * to understand the nature of the changes in professional activity * 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 specialised knowledge and towards clients and managers. Although this might seem to signify an end to traditional notions of professionalism involving trust, responsibility and self-organisation, they argue that this does not necessarily mean an end to professionalism itself, but rather a beginning of its significance and functioning. This process is of central importance to political economists, sociologists, organisation and management theorists, and anyone who is trying to understand the siginificance of professional organisation in modern British society today.
