Chapter 9 in Organizational Olympians, 2008, pp 102-107 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract All advanced thinking is immersed and grows from mythical soil, since myth and legendary stories in many respects proceed intuitive as well as discursive reasoning (Armstrong, 2005/2006; Kolakowski, 1989). Establishing history — for example, assessing a sequence of past events to be of a certain value or importance in order to understand and interpret present times — also includes myth-making as an element in the process of social memory, resulting in collectively organized and approved knowledge (Szacka, 2006; Wilshire, 1992).
