Covering a wide variety of countries and types of organization, this volume examines the diverse ways in which individuals’ ethnic, gender, corporate and professional identities interact. This book brings together fields often viewed in isolation: ethnographies of groups traditionally studied by anthropologists in new organisational contexts, and examinations of the role of identity in corporate life, opening up new perspectives on central areas of contemporary human activity. It will be of great interest to those concerned with practical management of institutions, as well as those of us who find ourselves working within them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t“\u003cem\u003e…the case studies…do, together, speak to methodological issues that are about more than the enrichment of a sub-field…[The volume’s] publication is well timed to pause a pause for thinking about what, analytically, anthropology has to offer amidst the crisis of corporatist failure.\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003cstrong\u003e  ·  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJRAI\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tPreface\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eShirley Ardener\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/b\u003e Bridging Businesses and Bureaucracies\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eFiona Moore\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Matters of the Heart: The Business of English Rugby League\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMargaret Groeneveld\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e When Worlds Collide: British Bureaucracy Meets German Bureaucracy in the Global Finance-scape\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eFiona Moore\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Image and Reality in an Israeli ‘Absorption Centre’ for Ethiopian Immigrants\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eEsther Herzog\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Loyalty and Politics: The Discourses of Liberalisation\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSimone Abram\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e Identities under Construction: The Case of International Education\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eHilary Callan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e Portrait of an Aid Donor: A Profile of DFID\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAnne Coles\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e Identity Construction in Development Practices: The Government of Ghana, Civil Society, Private Sector and Development Partners\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eLindsay Whitfield\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042962735447,"sku":"9781845450540","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781845450540.jpg?v=1750956418","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/professional-identities-policy-and-practice-in-business-and-bureaucracy-9781845450540","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
