Understanding Organizations through Language offers a viable alternative to functional approaches to communication, based on 'webs of meaning'. Instead of viewing communication as a thing that can be unproblematically controlled and managed, the authors use semiology as a theoretical bedrock to develop a new metaphor for communication. The book applies this approach to areas of interest, including metaphor, story-telling, discourse, gender, leadership, and electronic communication. Spanning the gap between highly theoretical organization studies texts and highly prescriptive communication texts, the book talks to the reader in a sophisticated yet approachable style, making it a useful resource for academics and students in HRM and organizational behavior.
