contemporary issues in management

This assignment takes the form of an individual study of ethics and organizational storytelling.  The word count is 2300 word. (10% +/-)

1. It can be argued that organizational storytelling research has contributed significantly to our understanding of organisational misbehaviour, organisational mismanagement and economic malpractice.  Examine this claim by applying either Boje’s notion of quantum stories or Gabriel’s psychoanalytic account of the ‘unmanaged spaces’ to consider tensions between individual sense-making and organisational espoused values.

NB –

1. All work should make clear and appropriate use of academic literature.
2. All work should be appropriately referenced.

3. Examples should be used, where appropriate, to both develop       ideas and construct argument.
