This book examines the social organizational discourse of
task-oriented business meetings in a Kuwaiti financial organization
and an American non-profit trade organisation. Focusing primarily
on the linguistic behaviours demonstrating agency and power of
managers and staff members displayed during these meetings, the
project is based on ethnographic data collected during eight months
of fieldwork. The author examines the similarities and differences
between the linguistic behaviours of both organizations,
particularly relating to the production of collective "we," "us,"
and "our" utterances and directive speech acts issued to explore
how managers and co-workers perform agency and power in meetings.
This distinctive book will shed light into the influence of
language on the actions and relationships of managers and
co-workers in business meetings, and will be of interest to applied
linguists and discourse analysts in the field of business discourse
in addition to business professionals in management and finance.
