Download or read book Corporate Communications written by Lars Thoeger Christensen and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of corporate communications describes the practices organizations use to communicate as coherent corporate `bodies′. Drawing on the metaphor of the body and on a variety of theories and disciplines the text challenges the idealized notion that organizations can and should communicate as unified wholes. The authors pose important questions such as: - Where does the central idea of corporate communications come from? - What are the underlying assumptions of most corporate communications practices? - What are the organizational and ethical challenges of attempting truly `corporate′ communication? Clearly written with international vignettes and executive briefings, this book shows that in a complex world the management of communication needs to embrace multiple opinions and voices. Rewarding readers with a deeper understanding of corporate communications, the text will be a `must read′ for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars, in the arenas of corporate communications, organizational communication, employee relations, marketing, public relations and corporate identity management. Practitioners in these areas will be provoked to re-examine their assumptions and habits.

Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Un Frankenstein technologique nous menace. Du moins le croyons-nous. Déjà nous vivons dans un monde de machines, à transporter, à fabriquer, à penser. Pour remédier à la catastrophe imminente, nous comptons sur la communication : concept magique, mode envahissante, nouvelle science liturgique du siècle à venir. La communication - sous toutes ses formes - va-t-elle sauver nos sociétés ? On ne parle jamais autant de communication que dans une société qui ne sait plus communiquer avec elle-même, dont la cohésion est contestée, dont les valeurs se délitent, dont les régulations s'effacent. Dieu, l'Histoire, les anciennes théologies et valeurs fondatrices ont disparu en tant que moyens d'unification. Dans le creux laissé par leur faillite se développe la communication, entreprise désespérée pour relier entre elles des analyses spécialisées et des milieux cloisonnés à l'extrême. Comme une nouvelle théologie, celle des temps modernes, fruit de la confusion des valeurs et des fragmentations imposées par la technologie. De cette nouvelle science qui a ses écoles, ses laboratoires, ses grands prêtres, Lucien Sfez entreprend l'exploration systématique et la critique radicale."

Download or read book Communication Criticism written by Jodi R. Cohen and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1998-02-03 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed specifically for noncommunication scholars, Communication Criticism is an informally written, practical guide about how to think, how to communicate effectively, and how to filter meaning out of the swarm of communication that seeks our attention daily. Undergraduates will learn how understanding the fundamental principles of communication helps them judge the potential effectiveness, effects, truths, and ethics of all types of communication from classical "soapbox speeches" to reading a magazine, talking to a boy/girlfriend, watching court proceedings, or watching the TV news. In a format similar to most public speaking courses, author Jodi R. Cohen introduces classical theories of rhetoric at the beginning of each chapter, then expands the discussion with contemporary postmodern theories, touching on concerns with aesthetics and cultural bias as well. Question-and-answer sections in each chapter and many specific, down-to-earth examples will attract and encourage students to harness the power of communication that shapes who we are, what we know, and what we do. A highly practical resource, Communication Criticism is the ideal for professionals in popular culture, media studies, mass communication, and film studies.
Download or read book Paradox in Public Relations written by Kevin L. Stoker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paradox in Public Relations: A Contrarian Critique of Theory and Practice is a thought-provoking exploration of public relations, aiming to promote changes in meaning and perception by creating new meta-realities for public relations. The term “Public Relations” was embraced by early practitioners primarily because it sounded more professional than the often-pejorative alternatives. This book argues for a reframing of some of the popular realities associated with modern-day public relations and uses psychological and organizational change theory to critique paradoxes in public relations theory and practice. By examining public relations through the lens of paradox, we can begin to identify the logical fallacies that have inhibited progress and innovation in public relations practice and theory. The book explores the paradoxical nature of key concepts, including public interest, relationship management, accountability, stewardship, loyalty, community, and ethics. It also recommends new conceptualizations for understanding the field. This book will be of interest to media, communication, public relations, and advertising faculty and graduate students, particularly those interested in public relations theory and ethics. Scholars from other disciplines can also use this exploration of paradox in PR as a learning tool for identifying logical fallacies and inconsistencies.
Download or read book Beyond New Media written by Art Herbig and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond New Media: Discourse and Critique in a Polymediated Age examines a host of differing positions on media in order to explore how those positions can inform one another and build a basis for future engagements with media theory, research, and practice. Herbig, Herrmann, and Tyma have brought together a number of media scholars with differing paradigmatic backgrounds to debate the relative applicability of existing theories and in doing so develop a new approach: polymediation. Each contributor’s disciplinary background is diverse, spanning interpersonal communication, media studies, organizational communication, instructional design, rhetoric, mass communication, gender studies, popular culture studies, informatics, and persuasion. Although each of these scholars brings with them a unique perspective on media’s role in people’s lives, what binds them together is the belief that meaningful discourse about media must be an ongoing conversation that is open to critique and revision in a rapidly changing mediated culture. By studying media in a polymediated way, Beyond New Media addresses more completely our complex relationship to media(tion) in our everyday lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on theories of ethics from Aristotle through Foucault and on the research literature, the director of technical communications at Boise Stae U. explores the relationship between ethics and the rhetoric used by technical communication professionals in developing his own ethical decision-making approach. This sensitively realistic approach is then applied to issues and cases with analyses (e.g., of the Intel Pentium case) of five topics of interest to those in this field: truth-telling in product information, liability and the duty to instruct and warn, multicultural communication and ethical relativism, intellectual property, and codes of conduct.

Download or read book Deconstructing Communication written by Briankle G. Chang and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a detailed examination of the basis of the idea of communication - with its semantic core of "commonality" or the transcendence of difference - Chang argues against the tendency of theorists to value understanding over misunderstanding, clarity over ambiguity, order over disorder. To this end the author revisits the thought of Derrida and considers deconstruction in general. Specifically, he uses the critique of the phenomenological tradition emerging from poststructuralism to clarify the commitments and assumptions inherent in models of communication. A seminal work, Deconstructing Communication will serve as the guiding framework for a constructive debate about the future direction of communication theory. Situated at the intersection of current debates regarding meaning and representation, Deconstructing Communication casts doubt on the seeming innocence of the activity of communication. Using poststructuralist literary theory and philosophy, Briankle G. Chang argues that modern theories fail to provide an adequate explanation for how communication is possible.
