Addressing both renowned theories and standard applications,
Stories of Life in the Workplace explains how stories affect human
practices and organizational life. Authors Larry Browning and
George H. Morris explore how we experience, interpret, and
personalize narrative stories in our everyday lives, and how these
communicative acts impact our social aims and interactions. In
pushing the boundaries of how we perceive narrative and
organization, the authors include stories that are broadly
applicable across all concepts and experiences.
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.
