{"product_id":"business-as-a-profession-von-david-ardagh","title":"Business as a Profession?","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere has been some discussion in journals and  books of whether Business, as a practice with its  own institutions, is a profession. The  term ''professional'' has both the broad sense of one  with paid expertise, and a narrower specific and  normative sense. In the latter there is a  presumption that standards of theoretical cognitive  competence, ethics, and social licensing have been  met. For example,credentials have been issued  following peer examination of expertise; ethical  conduct in a practice will be enforced by a peak  institutional body, and there is quasi- monopoly of  service provision.   The work argues that business is not a profession  in the narrower sense, but might approach that  status,and perhaps should, if corporate reform at  national and international level were to be  undertaken. But there will remain inherent  difficulties with regard to some essential fatures,  especially under an increasingly globalised ''State  Welfare Capitalist'' system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838332185\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA bridge too far or a fair way to go?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838332185","offer_id":39498907844701,"sku":"9783838332185","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/23dba792-2a05-432b-bf64-6963f29a927b.jpg?v=1775626607","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/business-as-a-profession-von-david-ardagh","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
