Abstract
New Public Management promotes and spreads management techniques in all public organizations in general, and in universities in particular. This societal and organizational change is analyzed in this chapter as a process of professionalization built on interactions between professional university groups concerning the new managerial logic. This logic is associated with accounting technologies challenging traditional professional logics. This research is based on a longitudinal qualitative case study conducted in a French university between 2007 and 2012, a period of intense change. Empirical data show both a partial dissemination of the new managerial institutional logic within the university and signs of professionalization through the dynamics of interactions between professional groups. All professional groups are at least partially altered by this ongoing professionalization process.
