Search for the 2 + excitation of the Hoyle state in 12 C using the 12 C( 12 C,3α) 12 C reaction

A search for the 2+ excitation of the Hoyle state in 12C has been performed using the 12C(12C, 3α)12C reaction at a beam energy of 101.5 MeV. An angular correlation analysis was used to suppress known contributions to the excitation energy spectrum, enh

Narrative, organizations and research

Given the rapid expansion of narrative approaches in management and organization theory in recent years, this paper investigates the contribution of this literature to the under-standing of organizations and processes of organizing. The paper tells the story of the development of narrative approaches in organizational theory. Narrative's contribution to substantive areas of organization theory is evaluated. These developments are then reviewed in relation to an ongoing tension between story and science. We conclude by contemplating some of the criticisms, and the future, of narrative research. © Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2005
