Book excerpt: "Casing Organizational Communication demonstrates communication theory through real-world examples. Every case in this volume requires the reader to come to some kind of decision. Every case follows a similar pattern and opens with the introduction of the main character of the case. Second, you will be introduced to other individuals involved in the case. Third, you will see the fundamental communication problem(s) that either the main character or the organization faces. Finally, you will be left with a character who is not sure in which direction they should proceed. You, the reader, will need to make the decision as to what action should be taken. The decision-making process is guided by a five-step process: 1. Understand the problem 2. Select criteria 3. Identifying solutions 4. Reviewing decision alternative 5. Selecting the best decision alternative. As with any new skill, learning how to evaluate and discuss cases takes time and effort, but it is well worth it as you will see how important a formalized decision-making process is for the business world and in your life." -- Back cover

Download or read book Case Studies and Projects in Communication written by Neil McKeown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-08-12 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on the assumption that the best way to clarify communication theory is to start with particular practical examples from case studies, and to introduce the theory as particular practical issues of communication arise. At the very beginning, just to introduce you to the field, we’ve included some communication terms and a simple model. In the second half of the book more communication theory is introduced as ideas about student project work are developed. Many of my students have often found it difficult to recall, let alone apply, communication theory unless it’s closely connected to actual examples of communication. Instead of just dipping into the book anywhere, though, you should start at the beginning, since the material is supposed to become progressively more difficult. But if on your particular course you are only doing projects and not covering case-study work, then you should start at the beginning of the second half of the book. You should use the assignments included throughout to practise communication skills, and then to apply principles, concepts and models of communication. The first assignment, for example, involves the relatively simple skill of summarizing material; but by the end of the book you should have picked up a lot of help for actually producing a project, which involves a much wider range of skills. You should also, by then, be thoroughly used to reflecting on the process of communication as it occurs in your work, and be able to apply the communication models introduced to actual examples of your ‘communicative experience’.
Download or read book Communication Theory written by Mark P. Orbe and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-27 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring contributed chapters from established and emerging communication theorists with varied cultural backgrounds and identities, Communication Theory: Racially Diverse and Inclusive Perspectives decenters traditional views of communication by highlighting perspectives from the global majority. The text deviates from a white-colonial-normative theoretical core to provide students with a more holistic exploration of communication theory. The book helps readers understand how the communicative experiences of marginalized groups represent important theoretical frames necessary for a full, comprehensive view of communication. It offers innovative conceptions of communication theorizing centered in and through the perspectives of African American/Black, Latinx, Asian American, and Indigenous/First Nations people. Through the presentation of canonized theories alongside innovative, cutting-edge theories, the text challenges students to expand and enhance the ways in which they see, use, and apply communication theory. A unique feature of the text is the inclusion of storied reflections-personal narratives that reveal scholars at various stages of their careers ruminating on their own experiences with theory. These reflections demonstrate how ethnic and racialized standpoints can inform and advance scholarship within the discipline. Communication Theory presents an inclusive, holistic approach to communication theory and inspires continued exploration, research, and theory in the discipline. It can serve as a primary textbook as well as a companion volume to other textbooks on communication theory.

Download or read book Communication Theory written by David Holmes and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2005-03-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `This is a very clear and concise summary of media studies, present and future. There is no other book that can both be used as a teaching tool and can help scholars organize their thinking about new media as this book can′ - Steve Jones, University of Chicago This book offers an introduction to communication theory that is appropriate to our post-broadcast, interactive, media environment. The author contrasts the `first media age′ of broadcast with the `second media age′ of interactivity. Communication Theory argues that the different kinds of communication dynamics found in cyberspace demand a reassessment of the methodologies used to explore media, as well as new understandings of the concepts of interaction and community (virtual communities and broadcast communities). The media are examined not simply in terms of content, but also in terms of medium and network forms. Holmes also explores the differences between analogue and digital cultures, and between cyberspace and virtual reality. The book serves both as an upper level textbook for New Media courses and a good general guide to understanding the sociological complexities of the modern communications environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Communication Theory provides students and researchers with a comprehensive two-volume overview of contemporary communication theory. Reference librarians report that students frequently approach them seeking a source that will provide them with a quick overview of a particular theory or theorist - just enough to help them grasp the general concept or theory and its relation to the discipline as a whole. Communication scholars and teachers also occasionally need a quick reference for theories. Edited by the co-authors of the best-selling textbook on communication theory and drawing on the expertise of an advisory board of 10 international scholars and nearly 200 contributors from 10 countries, this work finally provides such a resource. More than 300 entries address topics related not only to paradigms, traditions, and schools, but also metatheory, methodology, inquiry, and applications and contexts. Entries cover several orientations, including psycho-cognitive; social-interactional; cybernetic and systems; cultural; critical; feminist; philosophical; rhetorical; semiotic, linguistic, and discursive; and non-Western. Concepts relate to interpersonal communication, groups and organizations, and media and mass communication. In sum, this encyclopedia offers the student of communication a sense of the history, development, and current status of the discipline, with an emphasis on the theories that comprise it.

Corman, Stanley Deetz, Robert McPhee, Marshall Scott Poole, Cynthia Stohl, Bryan C. Taylor, and James R. Taylor.
