“…493–496) proposes for qualitative data: categorization, abstraction, comparison, dimensionalization, integration, iteration, and refutation. It is conceptually related to the structured (from scientific disciplines: see Bowen, ) or systematic (from medicine: see Tranfield, Denyer, & Smart, ) literature review and is similar in practice to the process adopted in a recent study on extremism (Moufahim, Reedy, & Humphreys, ) in which the authors write “During each of these stages of analysis we discussed emergent ideas and wrote a set of memos to record our analytical process” (p. 98).

“Responsible lobbying” is an increasingly salient topic within business and management. We make a contribution to the literature on “responsible lobbying” in three ways. First, we provide novel definitions and, thereby, make a clear distinction between lobbying and corporate political activity. We then define responsible lobbying with respect to its content, process, organization, and environment, resulting in a typology of responsible lobbying, a conceptual model that informs the rest of the paper. Second, the paper provides a thematic overview of the current literature underpinning lobbying and the responsible firm, and the underlying paradigms informing this literature. Third, the paper makes specific suggestions for a future research agenda, ending with a consideration of methodological implications of such research.

“…A análise retórica pressupõe que o conhecimento humano é provável, ou seja, as pessoas podem ser persuadidas a acreditar nele ou não (Perelman & Olbrechts-Tyeca, 2005), o que implica dizer que a retórica constrói a realidade social (Berger & Luckmann, 2005;Moufahim et al, 2015). Disso decorre o entendimento de que a retórica organizacional emprega recursos de linguagem para responder a tais questões de modo a criar significados.…”

“…No processo retórico, estratégias e práticas, ideias e modos de pensar são privilegiados na sociedade, enquanto outros são percebidos como anormais, heterodoxos e sem qualquer lógica (Moufahim et al, 2015). No caso desta pesquisa, as estratégias de criação de mitos por parte da empresa mostrou-se significativa, sendo justificável a nossa orientação para esses no reconhecimento dos mecanismos de desengajamento moral utilizados pela empresa.…”

Resumo Nesta pesquisa, conduzimos uma análise retórica com o objetivo de explorar os mecanismos de desengajamento moral utilizados pela Samarco no caso do crime ocorrido com a quebra de uma barragem sob sua administração, em novembro de 2015, em Minas Gerais. O corpus de pesquisa submetido à análise retórica constitui-se de publicações contendo declarações da empresa e de seus representantes sobre o caso em questão. Como resultados, mostramos que a Samarco utiliza-se de três mitos na sua retórica: (a) Nós estamos fazendo o que deve ser feito; (b) Nós não colocamos a sociedade e o meio ambiente em risco; e (c) A culpa não é nossa. Esses três mitos são recursos representativos do desengajamento moral (Bandura, 1999) da empresa para cometer um crime corporativo. Nossa análise identificou três mecanismos: deslocamento de culpa; minimização e distorção das consequências; e rotulagem eufemística.

“…Rhetoric can be used by organizational members at all levels, as workplace resistance literature exemplifies. There has been a wave of research on workplace resistance (Kamoche, Kannan, & Siebers, 2014;Moufahim, Reedy, & Humphreys, 2015;Nentwich & Hoyer, 2013;Symon, 2005;Symon, Buehring, Johnson, & Cassell, 2008) in which rhetoric is recognized as a tool of employees further down organizational hierarchies. In this sense, rhetoric is certainly not a managerial monopoly.…”

Based on the argumentation theory of new rhetoric, this paper offers an analytical framework to facilitate empirical investigations on how managers in organizations handle unfairness claims. The proposed framework advocates a rhetorical approach that seeks to understand whether managers absolve themselves of unfairness accusations by pseudo‐legitimations. Pseudo‐legitimation is defined as an attempt to legitimate an action without any genuine reasoning. While the precision of formal deductive reasoning tends not to apply to moral disputes, rhetoric enables rational argumentation and the use of practical reasoning to achieve resolution. Therefore, if managerial judgments are genuine products of reasoning, managers' use of rhetoric to legitimate their actions should be respected in acknowledging value plurality within their boundaries of authority. By contrast, managerial legitimations that are based on irrational grounds should be disrespected, as they can lead to arbitrariness and abuse of power. Institutional dynamics may either permit or inhibit such uses of irrationality. Thus, the proposed framework should be considered alongside the perspective of rhetorical institutionalism.
