Abstract

From a psychoanalytic point of view, presents a set of propositions concerning aspects of the relationship between psychoanalysis and firms. Considers, in particular, the domestication of speech, the nature of communication in the environment of the firm, and the relationship between the subject and the socius. Seeks to explain the possible role of phantasy in the context of the firm and employs this approach to examine the issue of employee absenteeism.
