This PDW explores how discourse analysis can bring new perspectives and insights to traditional strategy research. Discourse analysis is the examination of “texts”, which refers “not just to written transcriptions but to any kind of symbolic expression requiring a physical medium and permitting of permanent storage” like objects and images (Phillip, Lawrence, and Hardy, 2004, p. 636). We suggest that integrating insights from discourse analysis can help address both longstanding and new research questions in strategic management. This PDW is a continuation of a successful PDW that was held at the AoM Meetings in 2014. The goal of this PDW is to provide participants to both be provided with an introduction to several methods in discourse analysis and have the opportunity to engage in a variety of small-group discussions with prominent strategy scholars currently involved in discourse analysis. Participants will gain familiarity with a variety of discourse-analytic methods, to enable them to view existing strategy conversations with fresh perspectives. |
