Negotiating Business Narratives

<p>This book challenges the widely-held belief that popular narratives about business are invariably critical. It develops a more nuanced analytic model of private sector narrative and applies it to 63 recent narrative texts (movies, histories, biographies) produced in the US dealing with three major industries: information technology, automobile manufacturing, and financial trading. It identifies recurring patterns to compare sectors and to analyze their implications. <i>Negotiating Business Narratives</i> appeals to academics and practitioners interested in business and society, strategic management, and contemporary literature and films about business.</p>
