Arguments for the In-Depth Study of Organizational Interactions

A Rejoinder to McPhee, Myers, and Trethewey

François Cooren

Université de Montréal, Montréal, Quebéc, Canada

This is a rejoinder to McPhee, Myers, and Trethewey’s response to Cooren’s article titled, "The Communicative Achievement of Collective Minding," published in Management Communication Quarterly in May 2004. It serves to reaffirm some of the theoretical and methodological arguments initially made in the article and illustrate the epistemic value of in-depth studies of organizational interactions. The author argues that conversation analysis is one of the most relevant ways to address what constitutes the specificity of the organizational communication field: concern for organizational interaction and discourse in general. The author also points out that this approach needs to be adapted to account for the sequential dimension that is so characteristic of organizational processes.

Key Words: collective mind • organizational communication • conversation analysis • nonhuman agency • interaction • high-reliability organization
