Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- List of illustrations -- Preface -- Introduction: bridging businesses and bureaucracies -- 1. Matters of the heart: the business of English Rugby League -- 2. When worlds collide: British bureaucracy meets German bureaucracy in the global financescape -- 3. Image and reality in an Israeli ‘Absorption Centre’ for Ethiopian immigrants -- 4. Loyalty and politics: the discourses of liberalisation -- 5. Identities under construction: the case of international education -- 6. Portrait of an aid donor: a profile of DFID -- 7. Identity construction in development practices: the government of Ghana, civil society, private sector and development partners -- Notes on contributors -- Index
Summary: In both professional and academic fields, there is increasing interest in the way in which white-collar workers engage with institutions and networks which are complex social constructions. 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.
