摘要、提要註:	Failure is a common occurrence in most organizations, even more so for those that rely heavily on innovation and R&D as key factors that influence overall success. Additionally, there exists a wealth of literature detailing how organizations utilize sense-making processes in order to interpret and understand unexpected events such as failure, and utilize that understanding to justify past, present, and future actions. This dissertation contains two studies examining a specific facet of sense-making, namely communication in the form of organizational narratives. Over the course of these studies I examine how organizations alter their narratives as a result of project failure, to gain a better understanding of how organizations analyze entrepreneurial project failure and utilize those events to influence future entrepreneurial activity. Drawing on theory regarding organizational narratives, in the first study I develop and test a model of new product development (NPD) failure, and investigate how project failures influence the content of the organizational narrative, thereby influencing subsequent levels of entrepreneurial activity. Expanding upon the first study, the second study examines in closer detail the impact that project failure can have on the content of the organizational narrative, specifically examining the influence of contextual variables on the impact that project failure has on specific aspects of the organizational narrative. In the second study I develop and test an organizational narrative model of performance events to determine the relationship between the positive and negative emotional content of the organizational narrative as well as what effects positive performance feedback has on the level of negative emotional content present within an organization's narrative.
