Abstract: This article explores the implications of Nietzsche's critique of language for the question of style in management studies. It argues that language actively shapes our understanding of the world and that discourses influence the organisational and individual realities under study. The article highlights the central role of writing style, which is too often neglected in favour of standardised formats. By reminding the artistic roots of management studies, the article argues for greater stylistic diversity to enhance innovation, honesty and precision. The article calls for a rethinking of academic writing that goes beyond editorial norms and explores new forms of expression to ensure that management science research remains a dynamic discipline.
