| Sumario: | Evaluation - whether called by this name, quality assurance, audit, accreditation, or others - is an important social activity. Any public or private organization that 'lives in public' must now evaluate its activities, be evaluated by others, or evaluate others. What are the origins of this wave of evaluation? And, what worthwhile results emerge from it? This book argues that if we want to understand many of the norms, values, and expectations that we, sometimes unknowingly, bring to evaluation, we should explore how evaluation is demanded, formatted, and shaped by the two great principles of social order: 'organization' and 'society'. |
