| Tiivistelmä: | This article examines the temporal development of resistance and discursive struggles following a unit shut down decision and the broader restructuring plan of a global industrial organization. It is reported how the discourse of globalization and discourse of local capitalism were employed to legitimize and challenge the restructuring plans. The paper argues that although resisting organizational groups are rarely able to reverse restructuring decisions, resistance contributes to the evolution of shared organizational discourse themes, employed discursive resources, identity construction, and the formation of organizational ideology. Through these means, resistance plays an important role in developing organizational discourses towards mutual understanding and finding ways to confront the discourse of globalization at the organizational level. |
