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.

This fresh and fascinating book adds an organizational perspective to the analysis of governance and democracy. It argues that a number of organizational factors challenge the notion of agency assumed by a governance model. The expert contributors criticize the governance model for resting on the rational myth and the assumption that democratic ideals can be translated to specified democratic values, which in turn can be adhered to by democratic agents. By adding an organizational perspective to the analysis of governance and democracy, the book proves that theories about organizing and the construction of agency can be used to explain how and why democratic values are attended to in governance structures.Organizing Democracy will prove essential reading for researchers and postgraduate students in public management, organizational studies, political science and sociology. Practitioners with an interest in public management policy will also find this book invaluable.

A much-needed addition to literature, this timely edited collection aims to provide clarity and understanding on how modern organizations work. Arguing that hybrid organizations are in fact not a new phenomenon, this thought-provoking collection goes beyond existing research and re-evaluates our traditional understanding of this concept.

Boken förklarar vad den institutionella omvärlden består av och på vilka sätt enskilda organisationer påverkas. Ledare styr inte själva fullt ut över inriktningen på och tidpunkten för sina beslut, vare sig de är medvetna om det eller inte. Deras handlingsramar begränsas av institutionella betingelser i deras omvärld – vad som är tekniskt, ekonomiskt, socialt och kulturellt möjligt i olika sammanhang. Det betyder att organisationer och deras ledare inte kan isoleras från vad som pågår runt omkring dem.
Med en bättre förståelse för deras omvärld – och hur detta påverkar hur de tänker, vad de gör och varför de gör det – får beslutsfattare också bättre möjligheter att fatta mer övervägda beslut.
Boken kan ses som en introduktion till institutionell organisationsanalys och är lämplig både för undervisning på universitet och högskolor och som facklitteratur för beslutsfattare.

This book about leadership targets all those seeking a better understanding of the mysterious phenomenon called leadership. The expected readers includes scholars exploring leadership, leaders and those who want to become leaders, as well as all those who are led or would like to be led.
In the book we expand our knowledge of leadership from two starting points. The first one is an implicit analytical assumption running throughout the book, i.e. that leadership constitutes a problem, not a solution. The second one is empirical and entails studies of leadership in contexts that are usually overlooked. Traditional businesses and public authorities are replaced with other settings, such as a monastery, an accident site and polar expeditions, in order to see beyond the preconditions of modern bureaucracy.
The authors try to figure out where we stand today and furthermore: where is leadership headed from here?

Den svenska modellen lever - trots stora omvälvningar, kriser och strukturomvandlingar. Här skildras hur arbetsorganisation, effektivitet i svensk industri och olika innovationssystem har utvecklats inom ramen för en övergripande svensk modell under efterkrigstidens alltmer globaliserade värld. Genom att belysa historiens roll lyfts centrala framtidsfrågor fram, som vilken roll bland annat management och kringliggande institutionella faktorer kan spela för innovationspotentialen i svenskt näringsliv framöver. Den svenska modellen i en vidare tolkning har uppvisat en stor överlevnadsförmåga, men frågan om innovationer förblir central för dess framtid. Författarna, samtliga forskare inom ekonomisk historia och företagsekonomi, vidgar perspektivet på den svenska modellen till att omfatta fler aspekter av samhällsomvandlingen och förklarar därigenom modellens framgångssaga. Redaktörer är Lars Magnusson och Jan Ottosson.
