Organizational Discourse Analysis: Avoiding the Determinism– Voluntarism Trap

Charles Conrad

Texas A&M University, USA

Drawing on Alvesson and Karreman’s (2000) analysis of the methodological problems facing organizational discourse analysis, this commentary examines the four primary essays in this special issue in terms of their ability to deal adequately with micro-discourse, mesodiscourse, grand discourse, and mega-discourse.

Key Words: discourse • discourse analysis • material structure • postmodern

Organization, Vol. 11, No. 3, 427-439 (2004)
DOI: 10.1177/1350508404042001
