商品簡介
Ardener (international development, Queen Elizabeth House, Oxford U., UK) and Moore (international human resource management, Royal Holloway, U. of London, UK) bring together seven essays on how individuals' ethnic, gender, corporate, and professional identities interact in businesses and bureaucracies. It addresses how they are perceived in corporate settings around the world, how they view themselves, and how they think others see them. Specific papers consider business and change in the UK, Israeli absorption centers, the impact of privatization and managerialist discourse on European public sector institutions, and aid agencies in the developing world, with emphasis on themes of power and knowledge transfer, researcher perspectives, boundary construction and reinterpretation, the socioeconomic effects of globalization, and flexibility. Four of the papers were drawn from a workshop organized by the Centre for Cross-Cultural Research on Women at Queen Elizabeth House and a series of talks on "Corporate Images and Bureaucratic Identities," presented at the Ethnicity and Identity seminar at the Institute of Social Anthropology at Oxford U. Contributors are scholars of social anthropology, gender studies, and global economic governance from Europe and Israel. The book is aimed at sociologists and those interested in identity, business and management, governance, and development studies. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
