Temporary organizations (TOs) can be viewed as a collection of narratives about the past and the future that can potentially shape organizational outcomes. An in-depth, longitudinal study of a time-bound inter-organizational project that served rural India's educational needs shows how multi-authored narratives and practices in temporary organizations influence each other. When the narratives are coherent with respect to the past and the future, the actors engage in mitigative practices, and the project develops. If the narratives diverge, the actors engage in self-serving practices hindering the project. The narrative view affords us a novel lens to understand the dynamics that shape practices and outcomes within temporary organizations. Our findings also have practical implications for TO management—understanding the plurality of narratives and emphasizing the importance of aligning them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From the literature, we found alkaline pretreatment ([16]; [19]; [20]; [24]) and electro-hydrolysis pretreatment ([12]; [20]) of rice straw, but combined pretreatment of alkaline electro-hydrolysis has not been reported. 3 Result and discussion The main aim of this study was to investigate the biogas yield of alkaline electro-hydrolysis pretreated rice straw and find the effects of different inoculum to substrate ratios (ISR) on biogas generation using untreated and pretreated rice straw.
