The Instrumentalization of Metaphors in the Management Field: Reflections from the use of the Book “The Art of War” on Business by Luiz Gustavo Lara, Fabio Vizeu, Elizeu Barroso Alves

“…From a hermeneutic-critical perspective, we argue that the use of metaphors in managerial literature sometimes reflects a utilitarian and anachronistic distortion of the contexts originating in metaphorical symbolic forms. In this sense, the strategic use of language can inhibit the interpretive autonomy of individuals, that is, colonize their interpretive horizons by the persuasive induction of simplistic and utilitarian worldviews about organizational reality. …”
