TL;DR: Bal's Narratology as discussed by the authors is a systematic account of narrative techniques, methods, their transmission, and reception, in which Bal distills years of study of the ways in which we understand both literary and non-literary works.
Abstract: Since its first publication in English in 1985, Mieke Bal's Narratology has become the international classic and comprehensive introduction to the theory of narrative texts. Narratology is a systematic account of narrative techniques, methods, their transmission, and reception, in which Bal distills years of study of the ways in which we understand both literary and non-literary works. In this third edition, Bal updates the book to include more analysis of film narratives while also sharpening and tightening her language to make it the most readable and student-friendly edition to date. Bal also introduces new sections that treat and clarify several modernist texts that pose narratological challenges. With changes prompted by ten years of feedback from scholars and teachers, Narratology remains the most important contribution to the study of the way narratives work, are formed, and are received.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use concepts from narrative theory to create a framework for analyzing structural features in narrative data, which are useful for description, but explanatory process theories must be based on deeper structures that are not directly observable.
Abstract: Narrative is especially relevant to the analysis of organizational processes because people do not simply tell stories—they enact them. Narrative data have surface features that are useful for description, but explanatory process theories must be based on deeper structures that are not directly observable. To address this problem and to facilitate better process theory, in this article I use concepts from narrative theory to create a framework for analyzing structural features in narrative data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a collection of "once-upon-a-time" type stories, as in "Once Upon-A-Time" types of stories.
Abstract: Everyone has been writing stories these days. And I don't just mean writing about stories or narrative theory, important as those are.1 I mean actual stories, as in "once-upon-a-time" type stories. Derrick Bell has been writing "Chronicles," and in the Harvard Law Review at that.2 Others have been writing dialogues,3 stories,4 and metastories.5 Many others have been daring to become more personal in their writing, to inject narrative, perspective, and feeling how it

TL;DR: The authors explored strategic management as a form of fiction and discussed the challenges strategists have faced in making strategic discourse both credible and novel and considered how strategic narratives may change within the "virtual" organization of the future.
Abstract: Using narrative theory, this article explores strategic management as a form of fiction. After introducing several key narrative concepts, we discuss the challenges strategists have faced in making strategic discourse both credible and novel and consider how strategic narratives may change within the "virtual" organization of the future. We also provide a number of narrativist-oriented research questions and methodological suggestions.
