Abstract: Abstract Plato explained his philosophy with stories. The Bible conveys views and beliefs in the form of stories. From the literature, storytelling is known from “The Arabian Nights,” Giovanni Boccaccio’s “Decameron,” or Geoffrey Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales.” In organizations, stories are told, they are an expression of the prevailing organizational culture. It becomes even more evident with innovation culture: How many stories—mostly success stories—are told as who did what, how, and had a huge success in doing so.
