SOCY 74 Professionals, Policy and Practice

Professionals, Policy & Practice examines how professionals have come to be among the most influential actors in contemporary organizations and the global political economy. Professionals have long been the focus of research in organization and management studies, but interest in them crosses disciplinary boundaries; thus, the course will include readings from sociology, accounting, legal studies, finance, and political science. We’ll draw on their varied theories, methods and approaches to examine how and why professionals coordinate and compete, shaping norms, standards and practices within and among organizations.
