Abstract
Using a case study based on interviews and documents, this article applies narrative theory and methods to garbage can decision theory. Narrative approaches to organizational action offer insight into how decisions and actions occur in organizations. Following narrative theory, organizational decision making may be understood as the interweaving of multiple, ongoing, and unending narratives that constitute organizational decision makers. Narrative analyses also accommodate the complexity of organizational decisions and actions.
