Description This study offers a discourse analysis of media construction of unsuccessful foreign investor's case, dealing namely with the case of LG.Philips Displays Holding and the Czech state and covering the case since the investor's decision to settle in Czech Republic taken in 2000 until the period of the investor's bankruptcy in 2006. The particular method developed for the analysis is based on Michel Foucalt's notion of discourse and derived from his theoretical conception of discourse analysis. The method which emphasizes rather structural than linguistic level of discourse is inspired by Gerbner's message system analysis and by de Gruyter's tracking discourse technique as well.
