Research Summary
Constructing narratives of transformative change is an important but challenging practice through which strategy makers attempt to influence acceptance of an ongoing transformation. To understand whether and how strategy makers can construct a steady influx of captivating narratives of transformative change, we analyzed how one noted strategy maker assisted the successful transformation of his organization over three decades by orchestrating the production of change narratives. Our analysis reveals that the strategy maker constructed and reconstructed meanings of change over time using three sets of distinct but interconnected narrative practices. We develop a dynamic model linking the simultaneous mobilization of these practices to strategy makers’ ability to harness the persistent tension between novelty and familiarity in a transformative change, and thereby win endorsement from key audiences.

Managerial Summary
How can storytelling be used to influence acceptance of an ongoing organizational transformation? In this paper, we try to answer this question by examining how, over three decades, Italian company Alessi documented its transformation from a manufacturer of kitchen steel utensils to a producer of a variety of household objects purchased also for their symbolic value. The leader behind Alessi's transformation, Alberto Alessi, orchestrated such narrative production, targeting employees, customers, retailers, and visitors to Alessi exhibitions. Our findings uncover how narratives can be used to win audiences’ endorsement of change, through narrative practices aimed at: (1) constructing a collective memory of change; (2) depicting change as a novel but coherent departure from the past; and (3) portraying change as a transcendent endeavor.

A universe of stories: Mobilizing narrative practices during transformative change

As ‘the principal storyteller in contemporary American society’ (Kozloff 1992: 67) — as well as in many other contemporary societies — television is replete with narrative forms and genres. It is not only ‘the sitcom, the action series, the cartoon, the soap opera, the miniseries, the made-for-TV movie’ (ibid.: 68) that clearly show narrative traits. Even types of programmes which appear to be far less likely as narratives — such as advertisements, music videos or nature documentaries — often tell a story, though these stories admittedly vary considerably in terms of how elaborate they are: 
A commercial for pain relievers may rely on comparison and argument, or an ad for a car may be abstract and descriptive, but a vast number of advertisements offer a compressed narrative exemplifying the products’ beneficial effects. Music videos often enact the storyline of the song’s lyrics. Nature documentaries tend to follow the story of the animal’s life cycle or of the seasonal progression in a geographical area. (Ibid.: 68–9)

Introduction: Towards a Narratology of TV Series

Interkulturelle Kompetenzen - erfolgreich kommunizieren zwischen den Kulturen

In the context of a systematic overview of the possibilities of applying narratological concepts to a study of TV series, ten case studies are explored in depth, demonstrating how series such as 24, Buffy, Twin Peaks, Star Trek, Blackadder , and Sex and the City make use of innovative audiovisual means of storytelling. Transgressing the traditional confines of narrative theory, the chapter authors address the question of how form, content, and function intersect in these series.

What is a Classic? Postcolonial Rewriting and Invention of the Canon

HE STORY OF THE BEAUTIFUL IO, whom Jupiter transforms into a cow to hide his affair with her from his wife Juno and who, shedding bitter tears, manages to reveal her true identity to her father by tracing her name in the ground with her hoof, is just one of many instances of human- animal transformation in Ovid's Metamorphoses. The Metamorphoses, beyond doubt part of the canon of Western literature, has inspired many authors throughout the centuries, and it still constitutes an interesting touchstone for a discussion of literary representations of human-animal transformation in texts written in the second half of the twentieth century. The frequent explicit intertextual references to Ovid in recent literary representations of metamor- phoses is evidence of the lasting impact of the Metamorphoses on Western lit- erature and culture. The depiction of the metamorphosis in the story of Io shares a number of features with the stories about human-animal transformations that we will examine in more detail in this article. Firstly, the tension between radical physical changes on the one hand and the individual's mental and psycholog- ical state on the other hand constitutes a focal point of many stories about metamorphoses. 3 The being that undergoes a process of transformation may either retain human feelings and thoughts beneath its animal appearance, as Io obviously does, or the metamorphosis may affect the mental level as well, bringing about novel or alien ways of perceiving the world. Secondly, the story of Io, like other stories of human-animal transformation in Ovid's Meta- morphoses, suggests that the animal the human being is turned into somehow
