The Formal Analysis of Narratives of Organizational Change
介绍事件结构分析（ESA）这一正式叙事分析技术，通过分析环境争议中的叙事描述，揭示事件间的因果联系，展示正式叙事分析对研究组织变革的价值。
Formal analysis of narrative descriptions of events allows the researcher to rigorously examine processes of organizational change. Event-structure analysis (ESA), a rule-driven formal technique of narrative analysis, is applied to a narrative description of an environmental dispute. Various organizations and government agencies engaged in this dispute. ESA is applied to the narrative to clarify the causal linkages among the events and to demonstrate the advantages of studying organizational change through the formal analysis of narratives.
