Description
The Evaluation Society explores how evaluation is shaped by two fundamental principles of social order: organization and society. This landmark work examines the origins of the wave of evaluation that has become an essential aspect of modern organizations, and what worthwhile results emerge from it. By understanding how evaluation is demanded, formatted, and influenced by these principles, readers can gain a deeper insight into the mysteries, tensions, and paradoxes in evaluation. The author, Peter Dahler-Larsen, argues that this understanding is crucial for conscientious participation in evaluation processes and informed use of evaluation as a tool. The book concludes by discussing critical issues for the future of evaluation, both as a discipline and a societal norm.
