4th International Conference on Rhetoric and Narratives in Management Research, ESADE – Universitat Ramon Llull, Barcelona, Spain, 24-26 March 2011

Conference theme
Rhetorical persuasion and story-telling pervade the life of organizations and all their activities. They are also basic instruments in management research. The recognition of the functions of rhetoric and narratives in epistemology, methodology and research is associated with new views on the notion of science, with the debate between modernity and postmodernity, and with the use of interpretive methods.
The linguistic turn in philosophy introduced a conceptual framework in which the rhetorical turn and the narrative turn emerged. The focus of management studies on creating meanings and sense-making opens an important role for rhetoric and narratives as the main instruments for performing these operations.
The main aim of the Conference is to improve our understanding of the role of rhetoric and narratives in management research and practice.
