Origins, Traditions, and Trends of Organizational CommunicationWydanie 2

The second edition of Origins, Traditions, and Trends of Organizational Communication provides an updated overview of organizational communication, assessing the field to date and demonstrating a communicational approach to the study of organization.

Tracing the field’s history and development to the present, this edition is framed by the recent anti-racist decolonial turn in the field, offering a set of conceptual structures and vocabularies to facilitate appreciation of the field’s literature grounded in an understanding of its biases. It again provides students with background knowledge of foundational management theories in order to understand their influence on our thinking and our organizational world. Literature reviews on focused topics, written by experts, link organizational communication theory and research to practice.

This edition is an ideal text for graduate courses in organizational communication and communication history.
