Description

This paper examines how we think and talk about workplace communication and how this shapes how communication is managed.

This paper examines how we think and talk about workplace communication and how this shapes the way communication occurs and is managed. It portrays the workplace as a dynamic discursive system created by the interaction of task, technology, and social processes. It critically examines how this discursive system shapes rationality, decision-making, personal identity, and participation in the workplace. The focus is on communication from both managerial and subordinate perspectives.

Learning Outcomes

  • Upon completion of this course students will be able to:
  •  Distinguish between formal and informal workplace communication and explain the way each can determine patterns of inclusion and participation.
  • Critically analyse examples of workplace communication in terms of how these promote or hinder participation and understanding using a range of conceptual frameworks.
  • Develop a communication management philosophy that enacts positive communication management principles.
