Paradoxes of Participation: Textual Analysis and Organizational Change
将文学理论和方法应用于四个组织变革案例，揭示变革过程中的悖论，如包容与排斥的持续博弈，并展示文学方法如何揭示变革的社会建构。
This paper applies literary theory and methods to four accounts of organiza tional change. The paper furthers an understanding of change processes and demonstrates the contribution of literary approaches. With regard to the first purpose, the paper points out several paradoxes connected with organizational change. For example, although the stated aim of the programme was 'involve ment', the texts indicate a constant play between inclusion and exclusion of individuals. As for the second purpose, I argue that the texts produce and reproduce a particular interpretation of change and that literary methods reveal the social construction of organizational change.
