Rezensionen

"Digital Business Discourse edited by Erika Darics makes a strong case for discourse-focused research in the digitalized business environment. It creates a kaleidoscopic view of the phenomenon of practitioners working - and communicating - in today's digitalized workplace. And most importantly: it offers inspiring new research directions for scholars as well as insights and ideas for teachers in business, professional, corporate and organizational communication. ... it would be best enjoyed in peace and quiet with your mobile turned off. Enjoy!" (Anne Kankaanranta, Iberica, Vol. 33, 2017)

"Taking into account both its content and format, the volume would appeal to researchers interested in communication in organisational and professional settings as well as in digital communication more broadly. It would also be a valuable read to students wishing to explore the subject and explore ways of conducting research in digital and social media. The range of theoretical approaches employed in individual chapters offers readers potentially new ways of approaching analysis." (Dr. Agnieszka Lyons, The Linguist List, linguistlist.org, June, 2016)

"This book contains the most comprehensive collection of research about digital business discourse. It is an essential resource for all communication scholars interested in this area of study. With its easily readable and engaging content and style, it can also serve as an appropriate text for many communication courses with a focus on digital communication. ... All serious scholars of digital business discourse should find valuable material in this book to guide and position their research." (Peter W. Cardon, International Journal of Business Communication, Vol. 53 (2), 2016)

"This volume provides very insightful information on various new modes of communication inour digital age. It is both reassuring and inspiring. ... this volume has played a significant role in taking us into the world of digital business discourse." (Zuocheng Zhang, ESP Today, Vol. 3 (2), December, 2015)
