Zusammenfassung: | The object of our study is the political and ideological content underlying the corporate discourse in mission statements by the largest companies in Brazil. Mission statements published in the institutional homepages of the 64 companies that make up the theoretical portfolio of IBOVESPA were analyzed. Data was analyzed through critical discourse analysis (CDA) and grouped into lexical categories according to their meaning and their role in the organizational mission statement. The results revealed the underlying structure of mission discourses, allowing the identification of companies' specific profiles according to their discursive features; they also suggest that the corporate discourse appropriates the symbolic dimension in order to control and manipulate workers, legitimate companies' action in society, and naturalize the principles of the neoliberal ideology by presenting the current capitalist system as the best, only relentless mode of corporate organization and production. Keywords: Organizational Mission. Critical Discourse Analysis. Symbolic. Corporate Discourses. Nosso objeto de estudo e o conteudo politico e ideologico subjacente ao discurso empresarial das missoes declaradas das maiores empresas do Brasil. Foram analisadas as missoes divulgadas nas homepages institucionais das 64 empresas que compoem a carteira teorica do Ibovespa. Os dados foram analisados por meio da analise critica do discurso (ACD) e agrupados em categorias lexicais em funcao de seu significado e de seu papel na declaracao de missao organizacional. Os resultados revelaram a estrutura subjacente do discurso das missoes, possibilitando a identificacao de perfis especificos de empresas segundo suas caracteristicas discursivas, bem como sugerem que o discurso empresarial se apropria da dimensao simbolica com o proposito de controlar e manipular os trabalhadores, legitimar a atuacao das empresas perante a sociedade e naturalizar os preceitos da ideologia neoliberal, apresentando o sistema capitalista atual como a unica, melhor e inexoravel forma de organizacao e de producao societaria. Palavras-chave: Missao Organizacional. Analise Critica do Discurso. Simbolico. Discursos Empresariais. Nuestro objeto de estudio es el contenido politico e ideologico subyacente al discurso de negocio de las misiones declaradas de las empresas mas grandes de Brasil. Se analizaron las misiones dadas a conocer en las paginas de inicio institucionales de 64 empresas que componen el indice Ibovespa. |
