According to Grant, Hardy et al. (2004:3) organisational discourse refers to ‘practices of talking and writing? that bring organizationally related objects into being as these texts are produced, disseminated and consumed’. Based on the above analysis of existing corporate communication theory, it is assumed that corporate communication practices significantly contribute to this organizational discourse.
In literature the terms’ strategy practice’ (Whittington 2002) and’ strategic practice’ (Jarzabkowski 2003) occur interchangeably. They are used interchangeably throughout this study, too.
