The professional without a profession: An entrepreneurial response to supercomplexity in research environments?
The author analyzes her role as a special advisor at an applied research institute in Norway to explore the tension between traditional and modern definitions of professionalism. While her position lacks the specialized formal training and self-policing community required by traditional standards, she argues it embodies 'blended' and 'unbounded' professionalism. This 'professional non-profession' is presented as an entrepreneurial response to 'supercomplexity'—the conflicting pressures of maintaining academic quality (Mode 1) while producing socially relevant, applied research (Mode 2).
