In contrast to more traditional experts most of these \u003ci\u003enew\u003c\/i\u003e experts lack generally accepted mechanisms for the certification and legitimation of their expertise. This book focuses on these new as well as established experts and the efforts undertaken to secure and legitimate their expertise. We view these efforts as organizing attempts and study them on four different levels – the society, the market, the organization and the individual. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on empirical studies on these four levels of analysis,\u003cem\u003e The Organization of the Expert Society\u003c\/em\u003e makes the argument that current organizing initiatives in the expert society are based in an objectifying view of expertise that risks concealing and downplaying key aspects of expertise. Well-intended organizing initiatives in the expert society thus run the risk of promoting ignorance rather than securing expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on a current, general and global phenomenon, the rise and organization of an expert society. \u003cem\u003eThe\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eOrganization of the Expert Society \u003c\/em\u003ewill be key reading for scholars, academics and policy makers in the management fields of Organizational Theory, Management Consulting, Organizations \u0026amp; Society, Critical Management Studies as well as the disciplines of Sociology, Political Science and Social Anthropology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542101942510,"sku":"9781138340688","price":74.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138340688.jpg?v=1720119368","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/organization-of-the-expert-society","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
