Three ideas about the nature of aesthetic experience - that it is (1) felt meaning from abductive reasoning, (2) characterized by feelings of connectedness, and (3) enjoyed for its own sake - supply criteria for identifying story quality and suggest how to make stories more effective. This idea of good and bad stories informs every aspect of management storytelling, which we illustrate by revienwing the functions of management storytelling using Mintzberg's taxonomy of the roles of the manager. Furthermore, through Mintzberg's taxonomy, we show the contributions of aesthetically strong management stories to organizational learningItem type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
