| There is more said by and about organizations than ever before, and there are more tools to analyze texts than ever before. This ranges from more computational approaches such as topic modeling or sentiment analysis to more qualitative approaches such as narrative or discourse analysis. However, the explosion of approaches to analyzing linguistic data has meant that it is not always clear how to link analyses to organizational theorizing. It can be challenging to know how to align analysis with theory, to identify which aspects of texts to assess and to understand what they might mean. Some research considers texts as reflective indicators of organizing, some research focuses on texts to understand aspects of the communication process itself, and still other research considers communication to be constitutive of organizing. Researchers have seemingly endless options for aspects of texts to assess, raising questions about matching empirical methods and the theoretical question addressed in the research study. |
