Talk:Organization story

Jargon
This is very confusing. Could someone create a separate entry fro ante-narrative and leave this poor entry for people interested in 'straight' stories. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.219.11.96 (talk) 13:14, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Definition?
Currently, this article defines organization story as “collective storytelling system in which the performance of stories is a key part of members’ sense-making and a means to allow them to supplement individual memories with institutional memory” (Boje, 1991: 106)

As I can’t make much sense of this, I will try to formulate some questions that I think are insufficiently answered by this “definition”: Some examples might also help to make this article more understandable to a general audience.
 * “collective” refers to a collection of — whom?
 * What is a “storytelling system”?
 * What is meant by the “performance” of a story?
 * “members” — of what? (Probably of the unknown collective implied earlier?)
 * “Sense-making” refers to making sense of what?
 * Why would “members” want to supplement their own memories with “institutional memory”?

Oh — and how can a story be a story-telling system?
