Abstract: | In aiming to advance the understanding of the production, diffusion and negotiation of meaning in and between organizations, the notion of mise-en-sens (hereafter as: M.) is introduced. M. refers to the performing art term of mise-en-scène etc. Starting from a qualitative analysis of how Swedish wind farm developers manage the permit-application process for their projects, suggested is in a first-order analysis that the developers' activities consist in contextualising the project, ontologising it and neutralising criticism etc. In a second-order analysis, these activities are conceptualized as a M. which spells out the way in which developers, as meaning managers, stage the project and provide it with direction. After having positioned M. ... it is suggested in conclusion that M. could serve to describe the activity of wind farm developers and also, e.g. that of project managers or entrepreneurs in general since they too are engaged in the management of meaning. |
