Preferred term

language and organizations  

Definition

  • Among organizational scholars, it is increasingly recognized that language is more than merely a means of communicating information. Instead, language is understood as being fundamentally implicated in the social construction of organizations and in all of the related issues of power, knowledge, and meaning that lie at the core of organization studies.
