Blending social change and technology in macro-practice: developing structural dialogue in technical deliberations
Abstract
An extensive literature exists on the technical methodology of marketing, evaluation, audit, and policy analysis projects, but theorists rarely discuss their political context. In fact, technical staff often encounter pressures from external officials who hire or commission them that can pose ethical dilemmas when technical staff believe that the integrity of their projects is jeopardized. A discussion identifies various ways in which external officials can exert control over technical projects as a prelude to discussing some strategies that technical staff can use to offset or minimize external pressures that conflict with their values or expertise.
