摘要:This paper explores collaboration in one innovative project in a production company. Thefocus is on one particular relationship¡ªthat between change agents and project partic-ipants with the emphasis on the relations of power between the life forms of ordinary pro-ject participants and the change discourse applied. Drawing on Wittgenstein's conceptof "language games" and Foucault's concept of "power", this case demonstrates how thechange discourse constructs its own image of who the participants are, and how theseconstructions shape the main content of the change project. Rather than becomingemployee-driven and guided with reference to employee identities and life forms, projectparticipants and project activities are constructed by concepts, methods and techniquesthat are opposed to the extant identities and life forms within the company
