Organization StudiesSummary: This paper puts forward a discursive devices approach to analysing the linguistic practices involved in the translation of management ideas. The paper draws on empirical data from a study of quality improvement initiative in a UK public-private partnership. To illustrate our argument, we examine the discursive devices skillfully employed by two change champions during a training session to introduce staff to the new quality regime. Drawing insights from the field of discursive psychology, we analyse how a variety of discursive devices, such as footing, are employed to translate the idea during dialogue between sellers and recipients. We suggest that skilful variations can play a relevant role in the translationof management ideas. - Reproduced.
