Jean Gadrey : Modernizing professional services. Industrial or professional rationalization ? The aim of this article, on the one hand, is to look into the pertinence of a number of debates or theories dealing with the transformation of the organization of "professional services" based on the notion of industrialization. On the other hand, it is to envisage the rationalization of these services and the way they are organized according to their particular modalities which generally speaking, date back a while and no longer correspond to today's views on industrialization. As a consequence, this text opposes two opposite forms of modernization derived respectively from industrial rationalization and professional rationalization.

AbstractMany networks have come into existence since the public breakthrough of the Internet, but their objectives and structures are different. Translators and interpreters are using the Web to get together, for various reasons (e.g. sharing resources, new division of labour, etc.) They can also use it to promote certain values and ideologies. Ten networks are scrutinized here: How do they work? What are their purposes? Clear differences between all these online associations can be seen – from the most politically committed to those which refer to humanitarian goals as an added value for their business. Whatever the differences, the common denominator seems to be to give more visiblity to translators and interpreters as mediators.

The negotiation of quality The goal of this article is to show that neither market nor collective rules are efficient devices to improve quality of goods. In market, agents aren't committed. Sellers are likely to cheat clients out of quality. Clients don't communicate with sellers in case of problems about quality. Collective rules can commit sellers and are general references for consumers. But it is necessary to adapt rules to unexpected events and specific needs. They cannot stand in for dynamic interactions between sellers and clients. Quality results from the negotiation into networks.
