Information AboutExpertise |
|
Expertise is a form of Power ; that is, Expert s have the ability to influence others. Alvin Toffler's '' Powershift '' argues that the three main kinds of social power are Violence , Wealth , and Knowledge and, further, that these three kinds of power interact. Expertise is an important expression of the power derived from knowledge. Sometimes, expertise can override the other two forms of power. For example, the expertise of Scientist s may be deferred to by the Military , whose power rests on violence (or threat of violence). Similarly, the expertise of Technician s may be deferred to by Corporate Executives , whose power rests on wealth. SEE ALSO |
