And while polyphony may be repressed by specifications and other types of follow-up communication, the inability of senders to maintain a consistent presence is particularly noticeable when major corporations talk however, such communication is necessary for organizations (and other social actors) to explore new ideas and practices and, thus, inspire change. Discontent often resurfaces and hypocrisy may not be stable in a critical environment where many audiences insist on keeping an organization to its words (Brunsson, 2003; Christensen et al., 2013; Haack et al., 2012). Talk that does not reflect current organizational practices is therefore preferable to situations where organizations refrain from articulating ideals out of a fear of being held to their words. ./cache/work_nkf3f7pukfbb3l6hc3tvrh6gqe.pdf ./txt/work_nkf3f7pukfbb3l6hc3tvrh6gqe.txt
