Narratives are ubiquitous and hold the potential to indicate future changes in politics, economies and markets. As “stressors” and stabilizers in organizations, narratives and changes in the consensus narrative indicate the need for strategic change or organizational stasis and may be utilized as a source for early recognition in strategic management. The use of narratives in management, however, makes it necessary to adopt a new perspective. This volume offers a polyphonic forum for the development of an interpretive approach towards business administration, strategic management, and entrepreneurship, by introducing instruments of semiotics, linguistics, narratology, and others. This compilation, therefore, presents a comprehensive overview of scientific and industrial perspectives beyond the mainstream.     Content ·        Innovation ·        Narratology ·        Strategic Management ·        Entrepreneurship ·        Early Recognition   Target groups ·        Lectures and students of economic and social sciences, cultural studies and philology ·        Leaders from business, politics and government   Editors Dr. Andreas P.
