On average,
Professor Boje’s articles and books are cited
121 times by other scholars.By last count, David Boje had garnered 1992 total citations to his research (Citation analysis conducted on February 18, 2008 on Google Scholar). His most cited work (routinely cited on average by
scholars 300 times) is: Boje, D. M. 1991. "The storytelling organization: A study of storytelling
performance in an office supply firm." Administrative Science
Quarterly, Vol. 36: pp.106-126.
David’s total number of citations (1993 times) exceeds the average number of citations for the Organization Behavior/Management faculty at the top-ranked US school: a study of total citations at 51 major public and private business schools whose faculty had PhDs and as ranked in BusinessWeek, US News and World Report, and the Financial Times, showed that the University of California-Berkeley topped the list of most-cited faculty with its OB/Management faculty having 1499 life-time citations on average by 33%.
His international research reputation in storytelling stands upon several major contributions. His 1991 Administrative Science Quarterly article empirical study introduced stories how stories as the chief sensemaking device of organizations, showed how they are rarely told with beginning, middle, and end, and instead are dispersed across conversation in tersely told fragments. His 1995 Academy of Management Journal article is an empirical study of Disney showed the relationship of official storytelling to workers’ counterstories, and that this is going on simultaneously across multiple sites where the meaning derived depends upon the network of story rooms one has participated in.
As a measure of his influence, David’s articles have been cited consistently longer than a decade since their publication. Indeed, his 1991 ASQ article, “Organizations as Storytelling Networks”, garnered over 350 citations; and his 1995 AMJ article, “Stories of the Storytelling Organization”, received over 298 citations. The citing half-life for the journal is the median age of the articles the journal cited in the current year. Half of the citations in the journal are to articles published within the citing half- life. A citation analysis reveals that for both ASQ and AMJ, the cited half-life of articles in the journal is less than 10 years. David’s articles in these top journals have been cited over twice as long a period as the average article in these journals. As an indicator of his abiding influence on storytelling and narrative, these two articles continue to be cited till today.
He is past division-chair of the Research Methods Division of the Academy of Management, and incoming President of the Board of Governors of the Standing Conference for Management and Organization Inquiry (http://scmoi.org).

His books on postmodern theory of management and organization continue to be widely cited: Managing in the Postmodern World: America's Revolution Against Exploitation (1993, 2000 with Bob Dennehy) and Postmodern Management and Organizational Theory (1996 with Robert Gephart & Tojo Thatchenkery). Theatres of Capitalism is forthcoming (SF, CA: Hampton Press). Information online at http://business.nmsu.edu/%7Edboje/theatrics/theatrics.htm).
His 2001 Narrative Methods book (292 citations) invents the term, antenarrative, the double meaning of a pre-story and a bet that it can transform behavior. His 2005 co-authored article in Leadership Quarterly is a contribution of story to ways leaders in the fast food industry are socially fashioned. His 2008 co-authored article in Critical Discourse Studies is how stories of Sam Walton continue in annual reports, long after his death. In a series of articles Boje traces the shifts in story sensemaking and antenarrating of the Enron Corporation. His work on Nike’s storytelling of its labor practices is widely cited. In sum, his story research work is considered foundational in leadership, ethics, postmodern, poststructral, discourse, feminism, labor process, and communication studies. His reputation for storytelling contributions in academia and industry is widely known and respected in the United States and internationally. Professor Boje continues to have an active presence in international scholarship. He was keynote speaker at the Discourse as well as Storytelling conferences in the United Kingdom, and has been a visiting scholar/speaker at universities in the United States (e.g., Rhode Island, CA, CO), in Europe (Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Austria, and the United Kingdom) as well as down under (Australia, Tasmania, & New Zealand).
Twenty years have passed since Leavitt, Pondy and Boje’s seminal Readings in Managerial Psychology 4th edition (1988) put together a representative collection of articles on the subject and we believe that the time is ripe to attempt a current ‘take’ on managerial psychology. Handbook of Managerial Psychology (3 Volumes); Editor(s): Yochanan Altman (London Metropolitan University), Frank Bournois (Université Paris (Pantheon-Assas)) and David Boje (New Mexico State University); ISBN: 978-1-4129-4490-8; Publication date: February, 2008; Publisher: SAGE Publications, London.
