`Work Hard, Play Hard': An Analysis of Organizational Cliche in Two Accountancy Practices
基于对两家国际会计师事务所12个月的定性研究，分析了组织成员使用陈词滥调与口号的现象，揭示其与专业组织中控制实现的复杂关联。
In this paper we explore one specific aspect of the way language is used in organizations—the use of cliche and slogans by organizational members. Drawing upon a 12-month qualitative study of two international accountancy practices ('Firm A' and `Firm B') we examine different instances of cliche in the discourse of their organizational actors. The cliches are seen to operate in several complex ways, but at a general level are understood to be intimately linked to the accomplishment of control within professional organizations.
