ABSTRACT
The professions today are experiencing one of their most turbulent periods, not only because of changes due to the internal dynamics of elaboration and segmentation, but also because markets, corporations and the state are undergoing profound transitions. This chapter presents a new concept and method for thinking about and analysing these changes. It builds on previous work which shall be referenced for the interested reader as the concept unfolds. Yet much further research and analysis is needed to develop the concepts and to test hypotheses derived from them.
