And of changing relations between managers and professionals?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout the 1980s and 1990s, there have been substantial changes to public sector organization and management. A key aspect of this change has been the emergence of a 'new managerialism' which appears to have challenged many widely held and established principles and practices within the public sector. Not least, this new managerialism has been seen to pose a significant threat across the public sector to the traditional dominance of professionalism and professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the relationship between professionals (and professionalism) and the new managerialism by using in-depth studies from education, social work and medicine. It shows that, in practice, the relationship is characterized by a range of outcomes, from conflict to patterns of compromise and collaboration. This challenges the often taken-for-granted assumptions about the distinctiveness, even oppositional nature, of managerialism and managers on the one hand and professionalism and professionals on the other, and sheds new light on long-standing debates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67939709321533,"sku":"9780335198191","price":12.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3135\/9805\/files\/9780335198191.jpg?v=1793911276","url":"https:\/\/bookclub.org.nz\/products\/professionals-new-managerialism","provider":"Book Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
