Moving Away from Chronological Time: Introducing the Shadows of Time and Chronotopes as New Understandings of `Narrative Time'

Department of Organization, Copenhagen Business School, Copenhagen, Denmark, arp.ioa{at}cbs.dk

This article aims to present and explain `time' as a theoretical and a narrative concept. Most studies of change management define time as chronological time. This article presents two alternative time definitions: the shadows of time and the chronotopes, pointing toward understanding time as an asymmetric literary genre in futures studies of change management.

Key Words: chronotopes • narrative • narrative time • organizational change • shadows of time • time
