Abstract

The present paper focuses on increasing the discursive awareness of business practitioners. Additionally it aims to develop their discourse analysis skills, since the investigations on talk-in-interaction are to be considered paramount in order to achieve managerial objectives. Past research on the topic remains insufficient. The paper is a call for action in order to make discourse analysis a management tool to be applied to business practice.
