"This book offers a refreshing and engaging overview of the ways
some research traditions in organizational communication have
unfolded over time and continue to be connected to everyday, real
events." -Patrice Buzzanell, Purdue University Engaging
Organizational Communication Theory and Research: Multiple
Perspectives is a book unlike any in the field. Each chapter is
written by a prominent scholar who presents a theoretical
perspective and discusses how he or she "engages" with it,
personally examining what it means to study organizations.
Rejecting the traditional model of a "reader," this volume
demonstrates the intimate connections among theory, research, and
personal experience. Significant theoretical perspectives such as
post-positivism, social construction, rhetoric, critical theory,
feminism, postmodernism, structuration theory, and globalization
are discussed in terms of their history, assumptions, development,
propositions, research, and applications. In addition to editors
Steve May and Dennis K. Mumby, contributors include Brenda J.
Allen, Karen Lee Ashcraft, George Cheney, Steven R. Corman, Stanley
Deetz, Robert McPhee, Marshall Scott Poole, Cynthia Stohl, Bryan C.
Taylor, and James R. Taylor. Key Features * An introduction that
addresses the idea of engaged research. * Accessible and cutting
edge accounts of important research traditions written by
well-known leaders in the field. * Personal accounts of each
scholar's place in his or her field of study. * A conclusion that
explores the future of organizational communication studies. * An
extensive body of references on each perspective. Engaging
Organizational Communication Theory and Research is an
indispensable resource for anyone wishing to be familiar with
current trends in the field of organizational communication. It is
recommended as the main text for upper-level undergraduate and
entry-level graduate courses in organizational communication
theory. It is also an excellent supplementary text for related
courses in departments of communication studies, business and
management, sociology, and industrial relations.
