Abstract
This paper examines the rhetoric of a large multinational high‐technology organization. Specifically, it focuses on the value‐oriented arguments that emerge from the rhetorical strategies utilized in the organization's recruitment and entry level practices. The author suggests that value analysis, a traditional rhetorical methodology, can be useful as an interpretive approach to organizational research.Keywords
