ABSTRACT
Following N. Fligstein and other academics anchored in New Economic Sociology allows the presentation of financialisation as the ascendancy of shareholder value as a mode of corporate governance. This ascendancy means that economic actors have changed the forms of analysis they use to find solutions to the current problems of organisations. The major hypothesis of this chapter is that the logics and norms these financial advisors share can be understood through an observation of their very daily work and of the multiple interactions in the workplace, replaced in the organizational and occupational context where work and careers take place. The liberalisation of financial markets, the loosening of fiscal policy, etc., in parallel with the carving up of industrial monopolies, has led to a phenomenal growth in the buying and selling of companies since the 1980s. Firms seek out bunches of business data which is then reorganised as part of a storytelling presentation, in specific reports.
