商务隐喻研究的代表性成果之一是2012年由著名学术出版社Mouton de Gruyter出版的新书《隐喻与工厂：商学与经济学中的比喻》（Metaphor and Mills：Figurative Language in Business and Economics）。该书由埃雷拉-索莱尔和怀特两位知名学者担纲主编，收录了来自世界各地16名学者的12篇学术论文，从多个角度研究商务与经济学话语中的隐喻的特点。两位编者主要从事认知语言学方面的研究，但该书兼收并蓄，收录了许多认知语言学之外的视角的方法和观点。全书既有涉及认知语言学的研究（如Littlemore、Skorczynska、Siaw-FongChung等的论文），还包括语文学分析（Tejada Caller与Guzman Guerra合著的论文）、术语学研究（Fuertes-Olivera与Velasco-Sacristan合著的论文）、语料库分析（Crawford camiciottoli的论文）、修辞学研究（Eubanks的论文）、特殊用途英语研究（Resche的论文）、以及经济学的研究（Mouton的论文）等。全书结构严谨、很见工夫，读者能从各个章节之中读到对隐喻不同层面的探讨。
