Product Description
Product Description
Praise for the First Edition:
`[I] recommend this book to anyone who is seriously interested in organizational communication.... It is a unique and outstanding work.... Researchers in the area will find this work extremely pertinent to their activities' - Journal of Applied Systems Analysis
The Handbook of Organizational Communication, like the original, is a landmark in the field of organizational communication. The handbook provides a more up-to-date analysis of the latest advances in this exciting field. It assists in establishing a clear identity of this discipline that has grown tremendously over the latter part of the century. The contributors, pioneers in the field, provide a more multidisciplinary perspective drawing equally from the fields of organizational behaviour, management studies and communication.
An essential resource for researchers, teachers, professionals, and advanced students in organizational communication, management, organizational behaviour, and organizational studies this handbook provides:
§ An historial overview of organizational communication as a discipline
§ More than half the chapters explore topics not included in the original handbook
§ Part 1 examines methodological issues as well as theoretical ones, including quantitative and qualitative research methods and language/discourse analysis.
§ Each chapter not only reviews and updates research in its respective area but also included discussions of research and theory from around the world.

Thumbs Up!
16 Sep 2002
Format:Hardcover
This book provides a solid overview of Organizational Communication from a scholarly perspective. The authors do an excellenct job of identifying and elaborating on key issues, elaborating on related inquiry and elaborating on future considerations for the field.

adult learner
30 Sep 2008
Format:Hardcover
This was the only text used in a recent Communication course. It is very very "dry", and difficult to get through in a 6 wk course. Good to keep on the shelf for Comm majors. Good luck if you are required to use it as I did! Yikes.

Mediocrity at its best
12 Sep 2002
Format:Hardcover
This book characterizes much of what is wrong with the current way in which text-books are pumped out by authors/academics/publishers to serve as a new yet ultimately qualitatively useless addition to the heap of knowledge in any given field. It is not that the topics presented here are useless, meaningless or anything of the sort, it is simply that the mediocrity with which they are written about and presented to the reader- supposedly a student attempting to learn about these subjects- is apparant on nearly every page.
If the mark of someone who truly understands their field of study is their ability to clearly and easily convey and teach it to others, than many of the contributors to this book do not truly understand their field, certainly not to the extent that they should when being held up as the fore front of their academic field. Read or Buy if you must, but turn to others sources for a better reading and learning experience.
