is a textbook meant for European students. Developed basing mainly on international cases, it addresses the needs of globalized companies better than US-centric textbooks. It also covers the topics most relevant for modern 21st century organizations, rather than their historic developments.

The book collects research-driven chapters from different disciplines: anthropology, sociology, management, and law. It addresses the issues of legal and administrative professionals’ identity, ethics, and workplace enactment. It draws conclusions on the general condition of these occupations and their role in the society.
