List Price: $87.00
Price: $77.12

Review Managing Elites: Socializaton in Law and Business Schools / Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc.:

How does one become a member of an elite profession? Managing Elites examines how elites-in-training contest, rationalize, and ultimately embrace their dominant positions in society. Using interviews with law and MBA students, the author shows that becoming elite is not a straightforward process without tensions. Successful socialization outcomes-employment in large corporate law firms or prominent investment banks and consulting firms-require both accomodation and resistance to ideologies about achievement and meritocracy.

Publication date: 1996-06-24
Dewey code: 302.35
List Price: $152.00
Price: $152.00

Review Cognition Within and Between Organizations (Organization Science) / Sage Publications, Inc:

Published in cooperation with the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences and its journal Organization Science One of the hottest topics in Organizational Science during the past several years has been how organizational members conceptualize and make sense of their organizational worlds. The growing interest in cognition, both within and between organizations, has coincided not accidentally, with the increasing legitimacy of a constructionist point of view among organizational scholars. Cognition Within and Between Organizations brings together the scholars whose work has fueled these theoretical developments. The topical focus of the chapters covers broad ground, from cognitive coordination on the bridge of a Navy ship to cultural belief systems in the California wine industry. Despite this variation, the contributors to this book all attempt to apply the insights of modern cognitive science to problems of sensemaking and decision making in modern organizations. This commonality creates the book's coherence while simultaneously marking the contributions as the cutting edge of cognitive research within and between organizations. This insightful volume contains contributions from some of the most well-respected researchers and professionals in Management and Organizational studies. Students in these areas will appreciate the wealth of information provided in this book.

Review Springer  / Assisting the Invisible Hand: Contested Relations Between Market, State and Civil Society (Issues in Business Ethics) Edition: 1
Publication date: 2003-09-30
Dewey code: 174
List Price: $117.00
Price: $70.04

Review Assisting the Invisible Hand: Contested Relations Between Market, State and Civil Society (Issues in Business Ethics) / Springer:

Modern liberal democracies are troubled by public problems in which the free market is no innocent bystander. It is therefore generally acknowledged that the market must be controlled. Assisting the Invisible Hand is an investigation into contemporary thinking on controlling the market, especially with regard to the problem of dealing with environmental issues. The implicit modes of thinking in economics, political philosophy and administrative theory are uncovered and criticized. The book contributes to contemporary insight by arguing that the issue of market control must be addressed in terms of the relations between state, market and civil society. Furthermore, since controlling the market is so closely related to the ideals of liberal democracy, this book stresses the normative dimensions of the market control issue. The position adopted by the book is that the market cannot be controlled by the state alone. This responsibility should be shared between state, market and civil society.

Review The Professoriate: Profile of a Profession (Higher Education Dynamics) / Springer:

This volume provides a unique insight into the academic profession at a time of major change. It is organized both thematically and geographically with attention given to regions rarely covered, such as China and Latin America. For the first time, here is a book that critically assesses the condition of the professoriate at a time of momentous change. The profession is fracturing along fault lines associated with gender, tenure, age, rank and system and institutional status. Globalization is also re-shaping the world of higher education, including academic work practices. This book draws upon a major international study of the academic profession, as well as upon new data. Both thematic treatments and case studies of the academic profession in various parts of the world present challenging insights into the tensions in the profession, as well as some of the aspects that, despite all the changes, bind academics in very different institutions and systems, together. Researchers, planners, students and national and international agencies concerned with the changing world of higher education, will find this book an indispensable guide to understanding the forms and directions of change in the professoriate, as well as some of the continuities.
