Discourse Analysis in Organization Studies: The Case for Critical Realism
Norman Fairclough
Lancaster University, UK
Although studies of organization certainly need to include analysis of discourse, one prominent tendency within current research on organizational discourse limits its value for organizational studies through a commitment to postmodernism and extreme versions of social constructivism. I argue that a version of critical discourse analysis based on a critical realist social ontology is potentially of greater value to organization studies, and I refer in particular to the contribution it can make to research on organizational change.
Key Words: discourse analysis • critical realism • organizational change
