ABSTRACT
This book draws on two traditions within the critical paradigm, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Critical Management Studies (CMS). Both are now well established schools of thought, well documented in readily available edited volumes, monographs and journals. With so many accessible sources available, it seems justifi ed to keep the account here compact, mapping out the theoretical terrain where this book is located and, in Sections 3.1 and 3.2, referencing separately each discipline’s seminal work of particular relevance for the present inquiry.
