"Profession, professions and professionalism have taken integral roles in business and society. In this book, Mike Saks provides a thorough overview of this concept through analysis of a range of professions, including accountants, doctors and lawyers. The book offers a critical analysis of privileged occupational groups in modern societies. Anticipating a positive role for such groups in the years ahead, the book provides a comparative account of conflicting theoretical perspectives charting developments in an accessible, multi-disciplinary style. Profession documents evolution and contemporary transformation from medieval guilds, through international professional service firms, to a precarious role in the future of work. With insights into the challenges provided by neoliberalism and marketization, Profession provides a concise overview that will be essential reading for students and researchers interested in business and society." |
