Abstract
Rooted in the narrative turn, the narrated organization is a particular approach to conceptualizing and studying what an organization is. It is based on the central premise that organizations are constructed in different stories told by internal and external stakeholders. Organizations are created and recreated in complex webs of stories and story fragments that are complementary as well as contradictory. The approach encompasses different perspectives. These perspectives include viewing organizations as constituted in autobiographical narratives, as emerging from narrative networks and as storytellers or storytelling systems. Multiple, interrelated themes have been explored from within the narrative perspectives including organizational identity and organizational identity work, identification and socialization, organizational change processes and corporate/strategic communication.
