Le politique dans le travail du sociologue de l'entreprise

Abstract

Joseph Romano, Politics and Policy in the Work of the Sociologist of Business Enterprise When the « enterprise » is the object of sociological study and no longer « work », sociology tends to valorize management at the expense of knowledge and its critical function. This approach, which eliminates the political dimension so fundamental to social science, contributes to an unbalenced legitimation of an essentially economic logic. Since the 1980s, a particularly important example of this phenomenon is the creation of institutions designed to integrate businesses and universities. The question is how the intervention of the State in scientific policy has influenced or even determined the work of the sociologist. this phenomenon is the creation of institutions designed to integrate businesses and universities.
