Perspectives
Writing this article was a long and instructive process. I highly appreciate the valuable comments of the anonymous reviewers and the quite indispensable help of the editor of Business and Society which make finalizing this paper possible. Working with my coauthor was true delight and we had countless inspiring sessions during the writing process. I hope this article will help readers to see how important language is in all we do.
