A Psychoanalytic Reading of Hostile Takeover Events
用精神分析理论解读描述敌意收购事件的文本,揭示其深层含义,并说明媒体报道如何反映和建构社会现实,对研究组织现象和社会问题的学者有参考价值。
Hostile takeovers are interorganizational events that threaten organizational identity and integrity. Yet different meanings and different levels of meaning can be revealed by interpreting the texts that describe hostile takeover events. A psychoanalytic reading of these texts provides a way to explore the deeper meanings of these events. In addition, the media coverage of these events demonstrates both the reflection and construction of social reality, or “contemporary” culture. Interpreting the texts of hostile takeover events provides a way to both enrich our understanding of interorganizational phenomena and illuminate important social issues that might otherwise be kept in the dark.
