Stories of Life in the Workplace
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-8058-5890-7 (ISBN)
With a perception of narrative and its organizational application, chapters focus on areas such as pedagogy, therapy, project management, strategic planning, public communication, and organizational culture. Readers will learn to:
differentiate and gain an in-depth understanding of perspectives from varying narrators;
recognize how stories are constructed and used in organizations, and modify the stories they tell;
view stories as a means to promote an open exchange of creativity.
By integrating a range of theories and practices, Browning and Morris write for an audience of narrative novices and scholars alike. With a distinctive approach and original insight, Stories of Life in the Workplace shows how individuality, developing culture, and the psychology of the self are constructed with language—and how the acceptance of one’s self is accomplished by reaffirming and rearranging one’s story.
