  11. Narratives and organization studies • Narratives enable us to study organizational politics, culture and change in uniquely illuminating ways, revealing how wider organizational issues are viewed, commented upon and worked upon by their members

  12. 5 principles • The film(or also a novel) is a whole that has to stand complete: it offers a complete chain of interactions (il film ci offre una catena completa di interazioni) • The film does not only offer a coloured illustration of the concepts (va oltre i concetti) • the film describes a reality that arouses our reactions (è una realtà che suscita le nostre reazioni)

  13. Working on films gives a chance to go beyond a merely technical and specialized approach (complessitàdellerelazioni) 5. Discussing films in the classroom is a way to gain experience in the negotiation of meaning (un oggettocomplesso produce infinite interpretazioni)

  14. A narrative approach How contributes to understand management organizations, work life? • Knowledge mode suitable for present time, source of languages useful to understand complex phenomena • Conflict that produces change • Learning process following thoughts and emotions • Opportunity for identification • Developing personal features and resources • Storing redundancy, useful stuff to manage uncertainty • Facing to ambiguity of relations and situations • Opening access to unknown worlds
