Storytelling in Management Practice

Dynamics and Implications

By: Stefanie Reissner,Victoria Pagan

Since the early 2000s, storytelling as a means of managerial communication has been increasingly advocated, with a focus on the management practices of leadership, change and organizational culture. Most research on storytelling in management practice derives from practitioner experience, but little is known about the specific dynamics behind storytelling as a tool for managerial communication. This book derives from one of the first research studies into storytelling in management practice, which sought to evaluate the assumed, but not necessarily proven, effectiveness of storytelling as a management tool. Building on existing theories of narrative and storytelling in organizations, the book explores how managers use storytelling in their daily practice, revealing that it can be employed both, purposively - like a tool, and perceptively - spontaneously and intuitively. The book explains that storytelling has different functions in management practice at different levels of the organization, such as: Creating direction for the organization Translating strategic messages into operational ones and supporting the professional development of staff Shaping the organization’s social fabric through the sharing of personal stories Aided by a wealth of interviews and case studies, Storytelling in Management Practice reveals an analysis of the dynamic relationship between story, storyteller, audience and organizational context. As such, it will be useful for students and researchers working across a variety of sub-disciplines, including: leadership, organizational behaviour and business communication.

Narratives of Organisational Change and Learning

Making Sense of Testing Times

By: Stefanie Reissner

Narratives of Organisational Change and Learning" investigates change and learning through the comparative and contextual analysis of organisational stories. It focuses on how organisational actors make sense of and learn from profound change as exemplified by three manufacturing firms from Britain, South Africa and Russia. The interaction between organisational change and wider social, economic and political changes in the organisations' environments and their impact on the organisational actors' identity is examined. The book also explores the complex responses to organisational change epitomised by patterns of stories prevalent in each of the three organisations, as well as the important insights into often unacknowledged narrative processes of learning which result from profound change.
