摘要：This theoretical essay contributes to advance investigation into practice in management and organizational studies. The current state of research into practice suggests the need for broader and more in-depth analytical studies. We view management as a social and discursive practice, adopting the position that management is an action located in the way practical -productive life becomes apparent through managers' responses to previously realized actions, constituting an undefined historical chain of actions and responses. This chain is a result of the interactions between interlocutors that act and respond to the existence of social situations inserted into an organized social context. Thus, management is revealed as historically, socio-semiotically, and dialogically mediated, and what emerges is a convergence of multiple voices. Dialogical discourse analysis can therefore be a methodological resource for investigating management as social and discursive practice
