Ingen vill missa en bra berättelse : En analys av tre organisationers strategiska identitetsskapande berättande

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this paper is to create a deeper understanding of how organizations can create and recreate their identity through strategic storytelling on their website. The study focuses on the work of three Swedish organizations (IKEA Sweden, Klippan municipality and Luleå University of Technology) with strategic storytelling in their identity-creating communication. To investigate this, parts of the organizations' websites have been screened and analyzed based on how well their strategic storytelling contributes to building the organizations' identity. In order to collect data, said websites have been analyzed based on how they convey the organization's basic story, how they create relationships with the recipient, and how they convey and fulfill the organization's vision. This has then been investigated to determine how well the strategic storytelling works as identity creation. The results show that the investigated organizations both have a lot in common and differ in how they work with identity-creating strategic storytelling. The investigated municipality stands out as an organization whose work is not as strong, while IKEA Sweden excels in the other direction. Finally, there is much work left to do as large parts of the research field are still relatively unexplored. Above all, it would be important to present a research-based framework and a model for identity-creating strategic storytelling
