Thank you for visitng my site devoted to the upcoming two-volume series devoted to organizational communication.
Purpose
Workplace Communication for the 21st Century: Tools and Strategies that Impact the Bottom Line seeks to introduce readers to the latest research in applied organizational communication. In keeping with the Praeger Perspectives tradition, the two volumes will provide perspectives from leading experts to provide a thorough and insightful view or organizational communication for practitioners and academics alike. The first volume of the series will focus on interactions within the workplace, and the second volume will focus on organizations interacting with their external environments.
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average person spends over one-third of his or her day in the workplace. As such, people spend more time interacting with coworkers and customers than they do with their own families and friends. Unfortunately, going to work does not come with a handbook on how to make these interactions effective. The first volume of this series is going to take on major topics related to how people interact with others within the workplace environment (e.g., conflict management, mentoring, leadership, etc.).
A second major concern for organizational communication scholars and practitioners is how organizations communicate strategically outside the walls of the organization. The second volume of this series is going to take on more macro-level issues of organizational communication by examining how organizations interact with other organizations, the government, and the public.
The creation of these two volumes will be helpful for both practitioners and academics of organizational communication. The focus will be on how the research and theory of organizational communication can be applied within the modern workplace to improve both internal and external organizational communication.
