Myth typically brings to mind something not true, a false belief or erroneous idea - or else tales of the spiritual domain. As the second volume in a series of three, Mythical Inspirations for Organizational Realities looks at myths as part and parcel of our everyday organizational lives, andreflects on uses of mythology as allegories or metaphors where the plot or theme lies in the tales'focus. The mythical narratives presented in this volume serve as metaphors of an organizational issuethat can take inspiration from or be better understood through the myth to reveal an archetypal dimension of organizing and organizations.
