Narrative Organizations
This book shows how to work with stories and narrative approaches in almost all fields of action of a company, and demonstrates the added value resulting from a holistic narrative perspective. The authors take thereby a practice-based perspective from the viewpoint of managing directors, the C-suite, organizational developers, corporate communicators and advisers with a rich description of the methods and implementation. By the employment of these narrative methods, leadership styles, communication, knowledge and change management can be planned in such a way that on the one hand the identity-core of the enterprise remains always apparent and on the other, the organization can develop in an agile fashion into the future.
Transforming Organizations
Achieving true change and innovation depends on our ability to re-imagine and re-author the futures we want our organizations to have – and to open new perspectives and new ways of thinking, being and doing in the process. Narrative approaches and storytelling are powerful tools that can help us create a new future for branding and marketing, change, leadership, organizational learning and development. Gathering contributions by scholars and practitioners from various disciplines, this book provides a unique overview of an emerging field of practice in organizations and communities. Rooted in a narrative conceptual framework, the respective papers describe a broad range of trans-disciplinary applications, tools and methods for effectively working with stories.

Methods, Moments, and Ethnographic Spaces in Asia
Asia is changing. Socio-political shifts in the world economy, technological advances of monumental scales, movements of people and ideas, alongside ongoing post-colonization projects across the region have created an emerging Asia – one confident and assertive of its place in the contemporary geopolitical sphere. As political and economic powers reassert Asian sovereignty in opposition to perceived Northern dominance, and dramatic and rapid development in the region shift the relationship between the centre and the periphery, new renderings and imaginations of hierarchies of identity and power come to the fore. This changing environment leads to emerging challenges for anthropologists wor...
Storytelling in Organizations
This book highlights storytelling as a concrete and viable method which can be used in various operational fields in organizations: from change management to project management and knowledge management, it presents employees’ stories on past projects and the diverse, essential aspects of corporate culture they reveal, in an easy-to-comprehend and entertaining fashion. These stories focus on specific but generic experiences which can be adapted and exploited by the reader to ultimately tap into hidden knowledge and increase transparency during daily routines in his or her own organization. Knowledge managers, coaches, and strategists alike will find a 'real-life' connection through these stories, helping them improve their own storytelling methods. The book also provides exhaustive information on the latest storytelling methods and strategies. The adaptations Thier has made to bring learning histories to corporate settings accelerates the capture, flow, and application of organizational knowledge that speeds up changes to improve operations!

Beyond Storytelling
Beyond Storytelling stellt unterschiedliche Ansätze, Methoden, Werkzeuge und konkrete Beispiele für die Arbeit mit Geschichten in Organisationen vor. Dabei hat das Buch zum Ziel, sowohl grundlegende Aspekte und Konzepte narrativer Ansätze in Organisationen zu beleuchten, als auch anhand von konkreten Praxisbeispielen das Potential dieser Ansätze für Marketing, Kommunikation, Organisationsentwicklung, Coaching, Wissensmanagement und Lernen in Organisationen aufzuzeigen. Dieses Buch ist eine Einladung dazu, die Arbeit mit Geschichten weiter zu fassen als das Erzählen attraktiver „Stories“. Im Buch wird in den verschiedenen Beiträgen ein transdisziplinärer Ansatz entwickelt, der Geschichten als grundlegendes Prinzip menschlichen Denkens, Fühlens und Handeln begreift. Die vorgestellten narrativen Methoden und Ansätze ermöglichen es für Organisationen neue Denk- und Handlungsräume zu erschließen. Das Buch ist dabei nicht als Endpunkt einer Geschichte gedacht, sondern als Auftakt fur eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit dem Potential dieses Ansatzes für Organisationen und Unternehmen.
