Abstract
This paper will draw upon data collected from two professional accounting firms, to examine the extent to which culture of a professional firm can be used to control employees’ overall physical appearance, behavior, attitudes, social network and also personal and intimate decisions like when and whom to marry. This paper will deconstruct the various concepts of culture found in the case studies to uncover the existing power struggles.
