Economic geography : enterprise discourse

Enterprises are the core organizational entities for capitalist economies. An enterprise is a commercial business and might take the form of a corporation, a partnership, a cooperative, a conglomerate, a franchise or simply a corner store run by a sole trader. The most powerful form of enterprise, of course, is the corporation, and it is the main type of enterprise referred to in this article. Enterprise discourse is the language process that creates and propels the enterprise, forming up its organizational structures, devising its logics and strategies, and enacting its performances. In this sense, enterprise discourse underpins the creation and operation of the modern corporation.
