Description

This course 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 and organisational communication and how these shape the way communication occurs and is managed. It portrays organisations and the workplaces they provide as dynamic discursive systems. It critically examines how this discursive system shapes rationality, decision-making, personal identity, and participation. This is a transdisciplinary management paper, incorporating theory and practice from organisational communication and management as well as sociology, psychology, mass communication and media studies in order to understand the challenges of the communication management function in and around contemporary organisations.
