隐喻往往是我们日常生活和日常交流中无意识和理所当然的一部分。本文讨论了组织环境中隐喻的探索性和描述性两个方面。本文介绍了隐喻分析的三个步骤，包括几个专注于具体隐喻意义的特殊工具。东德经理叙事的两个案例研究将展示隐喻如何帮助我们更好地理解组织中高度情绪化的背景和复杂的情况。
Metaphors are often unconscious and taken-for-granted parts of our daily life and common communication. This article deals with the explorative and descriptive aspects of metaphors used in organizational settings. I introduce a three-step metaphor analysis including several particular tools that focus on the specific metaphor meaning. Two case studies of East German managers' narratives will demonstrate how metaphors can help us better understand highly emotional contexts and complex situations within organizations.
