| Abstract: | Firstly, the authors outline and evaluate existing theoretical approaches that characterize professional-managerial relationships in two fundamentally opposing ways - that is, as essentially conflictual or essentially cooperative. Secondly, the authors move on to a discussion of what they see as the fundamental limitations associated with these existing approaches. They then turn to emphasize ways in which the debate can be moved forward in a climate where managerialism is increasingly salient. In the sections that follow, they introduce three notions that they believe to be fundamental to any characterization of contemporary professional-managerial relationships: the notions of context, individual agency, and the system of professions. |
