PROFESSIONS AT BAY

The first Stirling Professions and Management Conference was held in August 1993. Over 100 participants were drawn from the UK, Europe, Australasia and the USA and 75 papers were presented.

The main theme of the conference was the character of late twentieth century UK management, with a strong emphasis on the changing situations of professionals who have long been the bulk of the UK's managers. Over 30 of the conference papers have now been published in three co-edited books as part of Ashgate's Stirling School of Management Series. The Professional-Managerial Class (edited by Ian Glover and Michael Hughes) deals with the more general aspects of the main theme. Professions at Bay (same editors) focuses on the situations of eleven professions as they face the onslaught of managerialism, commercialism and consumerism. Most of these professions, and UK professions in general, are seen to be adapting to external changes and processes quite effectively, some showing surprising resilience and cunning and others facing unexpected long term problems. Beyond Reason: the National Health Service and the Limits of Management (edited by John Leopold, Ian Glover and Michael Hughes) is effectively a sector case study of the main themes. It asks whether 'science plus will' in the form of managerialism allied to commercialism is consumerism are likely to make the National Health Service more effective, or debilitate it. Professions at Bay, appearing later than the other two volumes, contains three new papers not given at the conference, and extended introductory and concluding chapters, and takes the arguments about the general theme beyond those of The Professional-Managerial Class and Beyond Reason.
