Abstract

This paper examines the use of linguistic devices in a Chairman’s Statement to foreground a positive self-image and background references to financial shortcomings in times of financial distress. Drawing on impression management theory and critical discourse analysis, we reveal the systematic use of language to portray an organization as a responsible entity caught up in uncertain times rather than one which is accountable for poor financial performance. The study draws attention to how business students may benefit from a critical reading course which heightens their awareness of how linguistic devices are used to shape reality for stakeholders while managing impression.

在金融危机时期对印象管理的批判性阅读及其对商业写作的影响

摘要

本文研究了主席声明中语言手段的使用,以期在出现财务困境时展现积极的自我形象和背景,以提及财务缺陷。借助印象管理理论和批判性话语分析,我们揭示了语言的系统使用,以将组织描绘成一个在不确定时期陷入困境的负责任的实体,而不是将其归因于财务业绩不佳的原因。这项研究引起了人们对商业学生如何从严格的阅读课程中受益的关注,该课程提高了他们对在管理印象时如何使用语言设备为利益相关者塑造现实的意识。
