The book "Handbook of Management Communication Handbooks of Applied Linguistics [HAL] 16" provides an in-depth analysis of the role of language and communication in shaping modern organizations and their practices. The author argues that the use of language is a crucial aspect of management communication, as it not only facilitates the transmission of information but also influences the way individuals perceive and understand the world around them. The book examines the various linguistic features that contribute to the development of management communication, such as metaphors, narratives, and power dynamics, and how they impact the creation of value in different contexts. The book is divided into four parts, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of management communication. Part one explores the historical and theoretical foundations of the field, including the evolution of language and communication in management contexts. Part two delves into the linguistic features of management communication, such as metaphorical language, framing, and positioning, and how these features shape the way managers and employees interact with each other. Part three discusses the performance of management communication in various situations, including meetings, presentations, and negotiations. Finally, part four considers the implications of the findings for future research and practice in applied linguistics and organizational communication.
