Ironie in Unternehmen

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Arbeit, Beruf, Ausbildung, Organisation, Note: 1,0, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (Institut für Soziologie), Veranstaltung: Seminar: Ironie, 7 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: When talking about irony, we usually think of it in reference to private conversation or satirical topics in literature or television. But there are indeed many contexts which include irony as a form of communication we wouldn't rather expect. This essay investigates irony in an entrepreneurial surrounding and thus takes a sociological look on the function irony is about to fulfil in different situations within an enterprise. Moreover it refers to Niklas Luhmann's theory of formal organisation as theoretical background.
