Synopsis The Organization of the Expert Society by : Andreas werr

It is often claimed that we live in an expert society, a society where more and more individuals take expert roles in increasingly narrow fields. In contrast to more traditional experts most of these new 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. Based on empirical studies on these four levels of analysis, The Organization of the Expert Society 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. Focusing on a current, general and global phenomenon, the rise and organization of an expert society. The Organization of the Expert Society will be key reading for scholars, academics and policy makers in the management fields of Organizational Theory, Management Consulting, Organizations & Society, Critical Management Studies as well as the disciplines of Sociology, Political Science and Social Anthropology.

Synopsis Independent Consulting for Evaluators by : Alan Vaux

Although many academics do consulting work, little in their educational training prepares them for the consulting world. What professional skills should they possess in dealing with clients? How should they negotiate projects, formalize arguments, and make presentations to potential clients? With contributions from leaders in program evaluation, industrial psychology, and organizational consultants with years of practical experience, Independent Consulting for Evaluators provides readers with the skills needed for effective consulting. The contributors offer a detailed guide for launching a consulting career, and they address such topics as the importance of multiculturalism for independent consulting, successful ways to combine professional roles, how to collect data and do analyses in an applied context, and how to do presentations and use graphical displays. The book concludes with two case studies of small consulting practices. Students, professionals, and researchers in evaluation, management, research methods, psychology, and sociology will not want to miss out on this practical, hands-on volume!
