In:
American Review of Public AdministrationSummary: Administrative theoris have turned to literature, literary theory,and story telling for insights about administrative practice and research logic. A marrative theory of knowledge supports literature and science. This means that literature is an equal if not more powerful way for practitioners to acquire and use knowledge in administration. This also means that other cultural sciences that treat their subject matters as text have the potential to inform administrative research and practice.
