| Abstract: | This article explores the meaning of the business concept of a professional service (knowledge-intensive) company. It is based on a study of a Swedish computer consultancy company (CCC), covering a wide set of aspects (Alvesson, 1995). The study is grounded in a cultural approach to management, that is, it focuses on the level of shared meanings, ideas, and symbolism, which are viewed as significant elements in how companies -- as socioeconomic phenomena -- function. |
