| Abstract: | Conceptualizing management knowledge or ideas or thinking as a form of discourse leads to alternative frameworks for examining developments in this field. Critical Discourse Analysis can be used to explore the social processes and structures from which discourse emanates and which discourse in turn underpins. Bernstein's concept of recontextualization can be employed to analyse the discursive relations between different social spheres or conjunctures. In this respect it can be used to analyse how management discourse unfolds as it is produced, distributed and acquired by agents within the academic, consultant and practitioner conjunctures. |
