The Organization of the Expert Society

The Organization of the Expert Society

It is often claimed that we live in an expert society a society where more and more individuals take expert roles in increasingly narrow fields. In contrast to more traditional experts most of these new experts lack generally accepted mechanisms for the certification and legitimation of their expertise. This book focuses on these new as well as established experts and the efforts undertaken to secure and legitimate their expertise. We view these efforts as organizing attempts and study them on four different levels – the society the market the organization and the individual. Based on empirical studies on these four levels of analysis The Organization of the Expert Society makes the argument that current organizing initiatives in the expert society are based in an objectifying view of expertise that risks concealing and downplaying key aspects of expertise. Well-intended organizing initiatives in the expert society thus run the risk of promoting ignorance rather than securing expertise. Focusing on a current general and global phenomenon the rise and organization of an expert society. The Organization of the Expert Society will be key reading for scholars academics and policy makers in the management fields of Organizational Theory Management Consulting Organizations & Society Critical Management Studies as well as the disciplines of Sociology Political Science and Social Anthropology.

Real-Time Expert Systems Computer Architecture

Real-Time Expert Systems Computer Architecture

Expert systems and real-time systems technology have been developed independently. Expert systems have been successfully implemented in many complex applications traditionally performed by human experts. Real-time systems have been successfully applied in areas requiring interaction with dynamic environments control and monitoring applications for example. Merging these two technologies will yield intelligent systems capable of interacting with complex dynamic environments an area in which human operators exhibit poor productivity due to cognitive overload. | Real-Time Expert Systems Computer Architecture

Expertise in Regulation and Law

Expertise in Regulation and Law

This collection of essays examines the multi-faceted roles of experts and expertise in and around contemporary legal and regulatory cultures. The essays illustrate the complexity intrinsic to the production and use of expert knowledge particularly during transition from specialist communities to other domains such as policy formulation regulatory standard setting and litigation. Several themes pervade the collection. These include the need to recognize that: expert knowledge and opinion is often complex controversial and contested; there are no simple criteria for resolving disagreements between experts; appeals to 'objectivity' and 'impartiality' tend to be rhetorical rather than analytical; contests in expertise are frequently episodes in larger campaigns; there are many different models of expertise and knowledge; processes designed to deal with expert knowledge are unavoidably political; questions around who is an expert and what should count as expertise are not always self-evident; and the evidence rarely 'speaks for itself'. | Expertise in Regulation and Law

Power from Within A Guide to Success as a Medical Malpractice Defense Expert

Power from Within A Guide to Success as a Medical Malpractice Defense Expert

There is no end in sight to the frequency with which physicians nursing professionals and other healthcare providers will become lawsuit targets in our litigious society. While politicians practitioners insurance companies and trial attorneys debate the nation’s chronic malpractice crisis suits continue to be filed. In addition once COVID-19 is behind us and the unprecedented public support for health care providers wanes as it will it is anticipated that physicians and nurses will become malpractice defendants to a remarkable degree. National legislative fact-finding committees and investigative bodies which may be charged with the responsibility of pursuing a solution likely will never achieve a global remedy. Although curtailed by some states national legislation has not addressed baseless malpractice suites or grossly excessive monetary verdicts. Another approach exists however. Health care providers can impact the existing system and influence the malpractice environments in a tangible positive and powerful fashion. Although there will be debate over tort reform in order to bring some degree of protection to the malpractice defendant individual case success defined from the defendant’s perspective as a no-cause trial verdict can be realized if well-credentialed and experienced health care professionals are willing to assist the malpractice defense bar as expert witnesses. The benefits to the health care community and the individuals who are willing to participate are innumerable and worth considering. | Power from Within A Guide to Success as a Medical Malpractice Defense Expert

Grid-connected Solar Electric Systems The Earthscan Expert Handbook for Planning Design and Installation

Grid-connected Solar Electric Systems The Earthscan Expert Handbook for Planning Design and Installation

Solar electricity – or photovoltaics (PV) – is the world's fastest growing energy technology. It can be used on a wide variety of scales from single dwellings to utility-scale solar farms providing power for whole communities. It can be integrated into existing electricity grids with relative simplicity meaning that in times of low solar energy users can continue to draw power from the grid while power can be fed or sold back into the grid at a profit when their electricity generation exceeds the amount they are using. The falling price of the equipment combined with various incentive schemes around the world have made PV into a lucrative low carbon investment and as such demand has never been higher for the technology and for people with the expertise to design and install systems. This Expert handbook provides a clear introduction to solar radiation before proceeding to cover:electrical basics and PV cells and modulesinvertersdesign of grid-connected PV systemssystem installation and commissioningmaintenance and trouble shootinghealth and safetyeconomics and marketing. Highly illustrated in full colour throughout this is the ideal guide for electricians builders and architects housing and property developers home owners and DIY enthusiasts and anyone who needs a clear introduction to grid-connected solar electric technology. | Grid-connected Solar Electric Systems The Earthscan Expert Handbook for Planning Design and Installation

The Construction of Truth in Contemporary Media Narratives about Risk

The Construction of Truth in Contemporary Media Narratives about Risk

The Construction of Truth in Contemporary Media Narratives about Risk provides a theoretical framework for how in a post-truth era media audiences are able to understand and navigate everyday risk. The book examines media risk narratives and explores forms of truth experiential knowledge and authority. Using the concept of parrhesia to show how we invest trust in various types of knowledge in a changing media environment the book demonstrates how we choose between expert and non-expert information when navigating a seemingly risky world. It considers how news media formats have previously engaged audiences through risk narratives and examines how experiential knowledge has come to hold a valuable place for individuals navigating what we are often told is an increasingly risky and uncertain world. The book also examines the increasingly precarious position of expert knowledge and examines how contemporary truth-games play out between experts and non-experts and considers how this extends into the world of online and social media. This book will be of interest to those researching or teaching in the areas of criminology sociology media and cultural studies and of interest to readers in professional areas such as journalism and politics.
