Anti-dialogic Positioning in Change Stories: Bank Robbers, Saviours and Peons
研究人们讲述组织变革故事时如何定位自己与他人，发现表面对话实则封闭的“反对话”模式，并探讨如何打破这种定位。
Stories people tell of going through change incorporate and react to others around them. Positions can be taken in stories that tend towards the monological, having a singular perspective and being somewhat sealed off from others. Alternatively, stories can tend towards the dialogical, a multiple, less certain and more interactive mode. We explore multiple stories of an organizational change and analyse a paradoxical situation that emerges. We argue that although the stories may have the appearance of being dialogical, they can be seen as co-existing but self-sealing, or anti-dialogic. We introduce an interruption to the story and discuss a possibility for challenging anti-dialogic positioning in change stories.
