4. 7. Turning Privilege Into Merit : Elite Schooling, Identity, and the Reproduction of Meritocratic Belief

   Author : Max Persson; Stina Bergman Blix; Maria Törnqvist; Sam Friedman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; elites; elite schooling; identity; ideology; meritocracy; meritocratic belief; justification; privilege; inequality; exclusion; inclusion; belonging; non-belonging; school segregation; socialization; reproduction; frame analysis; identity frames; meritocratic frame; privilege frame; ethnography; Sweden; Sociologi; Sociology;

   Abstract : Previous research on meritocratic ideology and elite adolescent identity has mainly approached it from the outside, understanding meritocratic identity as a rhetorical cover to justify privilege. Through a frame analytic approach this study nurtures a phenomenological insider perspective, exploring through a one-year ethnography how adolescents at an elite high school experience, negotiate and perform identity in the tension between the school’s institutional definition of identity and their everyday life as young adults.

6. 9. A managerial perspective on small-firm network organizations : an overview of the field and a study of practice

   Author : Joakim Wallenklint; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis presents an explorative and descriptive study aimed at generating knowledge on small-firm network organizations, especially on the managerial aspects of these network organizations, the motives or expected benefits of participation in such networks, the management, and the development of these small-firm network organizations over time. The theoretical overview within this thesis briefly describes the way the network approach has been used in different disciplines, as well as the different theoretical approaches used in explaining this phenomenon in the network literature.
