The field of organisational communication has been rapidly
transforming in the wake of the linguistic and discursive turns
that have been sweeping across the social sciences since the
mid-eighties. These 'turns' have prompted organisational
communication scholars to look more closely at how they think about
communication and its relationship to the organisation and the
process of organizing. What has emerged from these reflections is a
perspective that proposes communication is not merely something
that happens in organisations but is the heart of organizing and
therefore actually constitutes the organisation. This perspective,
which embraces several sub-threads, is now commonly referred to as
the CCO (Communication as Constitutive of Organisation)
perspective. This is itself evolving as scholars come to realize
that organizing does not just occur at the discursive level. It is
inextricably coupled to the material and relational aspects of work
- the discourse mutually constitutes relationships between human
and non-human bodies that combine to create what we encounter when
we participate in organisational life. This book examines the way
these three dimensions combine to create organisational outcomes.
In doing so, it advances CCO and sociomateriality scholarship and
contributes to new ways of thinking about strategy and practice.
The series of empirical studies should interest the widely
interdisciplinary audience that seeks to understand work,
organizing and management. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the Communication Research and Practice journal.
