This much-needed systematic exploration of the emerging field of
organizational discourse addresses scholarly perspectives and
empirical applications of the concepts. The interpretive,
functional, critical, and structurational perspectives are examined
in detail. Issues discussed include the constructive potential of
discourse; prominent interpretive approaches; the role of
discourse, in particular metaphor, in fostering certain
organizational outcomes; a critical view addressing the power and
political dimensions of discourse; and the dual aspects of
discourse as both communicative actions and deep structures,
interrelated through the modality of interpretive schemes.
Application chapters illustrate how discourse theory can be
employed in field research, aiding the analyst in gaining a deeper
understanding of the social context and of the effects of discourse
on that context. In particular, a view of discourse as situated
symbolic action, and a structurational view of discourse are
illustrated empirically, using examples from a major IT
organization and a global consulting firm.
