About How To Use Storytelling In Your Academic
Product Description Good writing skills and habits are critical for scholarly success. Every article is a story, and employing the techniques of effective storytelling enhances scholars' abilities to share their insights and ideas, increasing the impact of their research. This book draws on the tools and techniques of storytelling employed in fiction and non-fiction writing to help academic writers enhance the clarity, presentation, and flow of their scholarly work. Timothy Pollock describes the structure, techniques and tools of storytelling, and shows the reader how to apply them in writing the Introduction, Theory and Hypotheses, Methods and Results, and Discussion sections of an article. He also describes how these sections differ for qualitative and theory papers, and addresses how to manage the writing, coauthoring and review processes. In addition, he explains how to use storytelling when writing grant proposals, research statements and cover letters. This book is an invaluable tool for academics at all levels across the business and social science disciplines. 'If you want your scholarly work to be read, admired, and remembered, you should dive into this book. Tim Pollock has done us an immense service. By integrating classical concepts from the narrative and dramatic arts, along with numerous juicy examples from the world of academic writing, Pollock provides us a fun, valuable story about storytelling.' - Donald C. Hambrick, The Pennsylvania State University, US Review 'For researchers, finding the truth has always been a method taught to everyone, and reporting it has been an art known only by the few. Thanks to this book, research has now become more democratic, because the reader learns how to use storytelling tools methodically for reporting research.' -- - Henrich R. Greve, INSEAD 'It won t matter how brilliant your ideas are if you can't explain them well in your writing. As one of the sharpest writers in the management field, Tim Pollock has produced a remarkably useful guide for academics to communicate more clearly.' -- - Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Originals 'The most interesting ideas and the most diligent designs fall flat if we can t showcase them for the reader. Pollock shows us how--while also giving tips for making the process more efficient and enjoyable. This book is essential for any scholar and should be required reading when training doctoral students.' -- - Jason A. Colquitt, University of Notre Dame, US About the Author Timothy G. Pollock, the Haslam Chair in Business and Distinguished Professor of Entrepreneurship, Department of Management and Entrepreneurship, the Haslam College of Business, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, US
