I am looking at how scholars have used fiction literature to help illustrate organizational culture.
For example Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland” as a means to begin to comprehend and unravel many of the crazy-making phenomenon in organizations.
This new interpretation of a work of literature then allow us to explore the idea using this common framework. (McCabe, 2016). ‘Curiouser and curiouser!’ Organization as Culture Performance. Communication Monographs 50, 126-147. doi:10.1177/0018726715618453
Are you aware of any other instances which scholars have used “fiction to analyze empirical material”?
My search continues and I welcome any knowledge you may have of such instances where art/ creative writing has complimented an unintended subject such as this.
Thank you.
Dear Rachelle,
I am really interested in your work, since my researches include literature, intercultural communication and corporates…
I would like to know something more about your works…and maybe we can share some ideas…
Looking forward to hearing from you,

I am homeschooling my twin 12-year-olds this year due to the pandemic, and I want to make sure that they are learning about other cultures and ideas. it is good to know that literature is a great way for them to understand unfamiliar cultural settings by getting to know the characters. Plus, reading fiction is something my kids love to do, so that will get them excited about studying different cultures.
