Storytelling in Organizations Book

Storytelling in Organizations lays out for the first time why narrative and storytelling should be part of the mainstream of organizational and management thinking.. The engagingly personal and idiosyncratic tone of the book comes from a group of presentations made at a Smithsonian symposium on storytelling in April 2001. Reading it is as stimulating as spending an evening chatting with one of the authors.

The prose is probing, playful, provocative, insightful and sometime profound. It combines the liveliness and freshness of spoken English with the legibility of a reader-friendly text. Interviews with all the authors done in 2004 add a new dimension to the material, allowing the authors to reflect on their ideas and clarify points or highlight ideas that may have changed or deepened over time.
