    Readers beware: Provocation, problematization and...problems

    Abstract

    In their recent Human Relations article and subsequent rejoinder to three commentators,

    Alvesson and Kärreman make a number of assertions concerning the development of

    organizational discourse analysis and the current state of research in this area. We

    believe their emphasis on provocation results in an unsatisfactory problematization of

    discourse-based work with the result that there are significant problems with both their

    analysis of the literature and their solutions to the shortcomings that they believe exist.

    We discuss a number of reasons why we believe that readers should be wary of what

    they read about organizational discourse analysis in Alvesson and Kärreman's work.

    Drawing on our critique of their article and rejoinder, we propose some ideas that we

    believe will be more useful in developing studies of organizational discourse than those

    put forward by these authors.
