Culture, Discourse and the Workplace offers an insightful analysis of how culture is made sense of in organizations. The discursive approach taken extends our understanding of the relationship of culture and discourse by elucidating how culture is talked into being - and its implications. The book does a great job in helping us to better understand culture talk from banal nationalism to mundane workplace conversations. A must read for discourse scholars and organization researchers alike.
