How can application of a positive lens to understanding social
change and organizations enrich and elaborate theory and practice?
This is the core question that inspired this book. It is a question
that brought together a diverse and talented group of researchers
interested in change and organizations in different problem domains
(sustainability, healthcare, and poverty alleviation). The
contributors to this book bring different theoretical lenses to the
question of social change and organizations. Some are anchored in
more macro accounts of how and why social change processes occur,
while others approach the question from a more psychological or
social psychological perspective. Many of the chapters in the book
travel across levels of analyses, making their accounts of social
change good examples of multi-level theorizing. Some scholars are
practiced and immersed in thinking about organizational phenomena
through a positive lens; for others it was a total adventure in
trying on a new set of glasses. However, connecting all
contributing authors was an excitement and willingness to explore
new insights and new angles on how to explain and cultivate social
change within or across organizations. This edited volume will be
of interest to an international community who seek to understand
how organizations and people can generate positive outcomes for
society. Students and researchers in organizational behavior,
management, positive psychology, leadership and corporate
responsibility will find this book of interest.

Organized around an extended metaphor of "story," this book
provides both theoretical and practical guidance for students and
researchers who need to transform their qualitative data into a
coherent manuscript (essay, dissertation, article for publication,
professional writing, etc.). Each chapter covers a different aspect
of creating a story: finding the intended audience, crafting and
developing the storyline, characterizing the storyteller, and
rewriting the story for publication. Composing Qualitative Research
is highly recommended for professionals and students across the
social sciences and management. Key Features: Now expanded, Chapter
5 takes an extensive look at manuscripts prior to publication. The
text offers useful strategies for addressing the writing issues
that researchers face when shepherding a manuscript from invention
to publication. The book includes real-world examples drawn from
many disciplines and publications to demonstrate styles, concepts,
challenges, and potential outcomes from writing qualitative
research. The work features an expanded list of additional
reference materials (online guides included).
