Racy Talk at Work
研究发现美国一家合成纤维厂的生产工作通过赛车意象和词汇来组织和完成；管理层学会这种工作语言后理解了过往项目的命运并认为能采取更明智行动，但工人仍用同一赛车隐喻表达对管理层学习的怀疑。
The author discovered that the production work in a US synthetic fibres plant was organized and accomplished using the images and lexicon of motor racing. When management learned the local language of work they were able to understand the fate of past programs and believed they could take more sensible action. But workers expressed their continuing skepticism about management learning in terms of the same racing metaphor.
