Applying Marketing Principles in the Field of Medical Services – An Ethical Challenge?
2013
Abstract Article propose in a synthetic and punctual manner, a debate fundamentally aimed on two research directions: to what extent the perception of doctors towards the use of marketing principles in the daily activities is in contradiction with their professional ethics and how it can be modelled the doctor-patient relationship by consistently integrating the principles of marketing in medical work.

LA VEU INSTITUCIONAL DELS EDITORIALS EN LES REVISTES PODOLÒGIQUES ESPECIALITZADES / THE INSTITUTIONAL VOICE OF LEAD EDITORIALS IN SPECIALIZED PODIATR…
2018
Dins el motlle macrogeneric que son les revistes especialitzades podologiques, els generes mes academics son els articles d’investigacio i els de revisio. Les altres seccions, comencant per l’editorial quan n’hi ha, tendeixen a activar la cohesio grupal i reforcar el sentit identitari d’una manera mes visible. Els editorials exerceixen el carrec de portaveu dels editors, sovint del gremi sencer i, com a porta d’entrada a la publicacio, opten sovint pel format epistolar o se serveixen de titulars cridaners que s’aproximen a la retorica periodistica, ben ensinistrada en els usos metaforics, com veurem.

Liikkeenjohdon konsultointi - nuori ja kasvava toimiala
1999
Liikkeenjohdon konsultoinnin professionaalistumista on Suomessa tutkittu vuosikymmenen puolivälissä. Tutkimuksen mukaan ala on nuori ja vain osittain järjestäytynyt. Konsulttien koulutustaso on kirjava, vaihtuvuus on suuri eikä alalle ole muodostunut markkinasuojaa. Monet ulkoiset muutostekijät luovat kuitenkin tarvetta professionaalistumisprosessin etenemiselle. Professio kuvaa joukkoa ihmisiä, joilla on samanlainen koulutuksellinen tausta, siihen liittyvä tiedeperusta ja näihin liittyvä yhteiskunnan hyväksyntä ammatillisine ja eettisine normistoineen. Artikkelissa käsitellään profession muodostumista liikkeenjohdon konsultoinnissa. Kirjoittaja näkee toimialan arvoketjuna. Sen muodostavat …
