A Community of Voices: Using Allegory as an Interpretive Device in Action Research on Organizational Change
提出在组织变革研究中运用寓言作为解释工具，通过特拉华州公共组织的行动研究项目，展示了寓言如何帮助理解变革中不同角色的特质，并促进理论阐释与反思实践。
Organizational change involves patterns of engagement across organizational lines and thus carries important cultural implications for participants and groups within communities of organizations. This article proposes using allegory as an interpretive device in the study of organizational change. Allegory allows organizational research to appreciate the way “characters” introduce distinct qualities into the change experience. Based on an action research program with public organizations in the state of Delaware, the article reveals the promise of allegory both for explicating theory and informing reflexive practice.
