Organizational Communication: Traditional Themes and New Directions - Robert D. McPhee - Paperback

The authors of the nine chapters in this collection consider both traditional themes and new research directions in the growing discipline of organizational communication. Several chapters indicate new ways to approach and study topics that have traditionally been central to the field. Others suggest new approaches which draw upon work in other, less central areas. In contrast to much of the previous research on this topic, these authors share a 'field view' of communication -- moving away from the traditional concern with observable behaviour or systems of behaviours and events. The result is a general theoretical shift away from a collection of empirical propositions to studies that help describe the field in new and ingenious ways. Taken together, these chapters provide a thorough overview of the current research and future trends in the study of organizational communication.McPhee, Robert D. is the author of 'Organizational Communication: Traditional Themes and New Directions - Robert D.
