Document Summary
Information society: say the right thing, to the right person in the right context, we live in an environment with lots of information. Emerging perspectives: how people assign meaning to things: postmodernism and organizational communication, postmodernists- what is happening now, what happened in the past is not important, question all theories and models, deconstruction, critical theory and organizational communication. Idealists: those who have value are driven by critique on everything, hegemony, feminist theory and organizational communication, focus more on women issues, you should not marginalize women on their behaviour. Chapter 3: communication implications of major organizational theories. The hawthorne studies: a series of research investigations in the late 1920s and early 1930s that served as a springboard to the human relations movement. The fragmented perspective: organizational cultures are, complicated, emergent, the process of coming into being or becoming prominent, not unitary, believing the cultures are not linear, ambiguous.
