Dramatic, Unmanaged and Storytelling: Organizations through Narrative Analysis
Abstract
The current approach to organizations as stable and static entities often considers changes as a transition from less favourable to more favourable stages and conditions. However if one considers that organizations are process-oriented and experience continuous change, organizational boundaries will immediately become questioned, and the researcher will have a good reason to draw for analysis of discourse, ethnomethodology, drama, and stories. Stories and narratives are multiple, contextual, and highly dependent both on the content and the narrator and the process of narration.References
