This edited volume brings new ideas to the study of national
culture and organizational culture as it explores their naturally
existing intersections. However, these intersections can be
difficult to identify and study, as national culture changes
generationally whereas organizational culture can change relatively
quickly based on leadership change, product innovation, and new
uses of technology. Too frequently, the study of culture is
discipline specific with little consideration given to how culture
is examined in other disciplines. To reconsider both national
culture and organizational culture, and their interdependencies, 18
scholars from 16 institutions, 13 states, and 4 disciplines were
invited to a workshop funded by the U.S. Army Research Institute.
This book evolved from two days of discussions and reflections.
This book reflects and integrates the contributions of over 1,000
academics across the social science and management disciplines as
they reconsider cultural definitions, theories, and methodologies;
explore the purposes, functions, and influences of culture; and
reveal the influences of communication, language, leadership, and
technology on cultural change. This is an ideal text for advanced
undergraduate and graduate coursework, and those interested in
cultural influences more generally.

Communication Research: Asking Questions, Finding Answers covers
basic research issues and processes, both quantitative and
qualitative, appropriate for communication students with little or
no previous research methods experience. The text's guiding
principle is that methodological choices are made from one's
research questions or hypotheses. This avoids the pitfall in which
students learn one methodology or one methodological skill and then
force that method to answer all types of questions. Instead of
working with one methodology to answer all types of questions,
students come away understanding a variety of methods and how to
apply them appropriately. This approach is strengthened in the new
edition with a suite of Connect tools designed to improve student
outcomes while streamlining grading for instructors: *SmartBook 2.0
provides a personalized and adaptive learning experience for
students, while highlighting the most impactful communication
concepts the learner needs to study at that time. *Progress
dashboards to quickly show how students are performing on
assignments and tips for improvement.
The Emerald Handbook of Group and Team Communication Research
considers the current research of group communication scholars,
provides an overview of major foci in the discipline, and points
toward possible trajectories for future scholarship. It establishes
group communication's central role within research on human
behaviour and fosters an identity for group communication
researchers. This book establishes communication scholarship as
essential to group research by exploring the various dimensions of
communicating in groups and teams. Communication is fundamental to
group research, and the deeper, more nuanced treatment of the
subject in this handbook consolidates and expands theory and
research in the area.
Authors Joann Keyton and Stephenson J. Beck present a communicative
framework-one that emphasizes the creation and management of
messages as well as the reception and perception of meaning- for
the investigation of groups and teams. The book also elaborates on
the strategic and contextual nature of group interaction. The book
is structured around five key elements of groups, all pieces of a
puzzle, that can be used to evaluate group effectiveness. These
are: group size, interdependence of members, group identity, group
goals, and group structure. Throughout the book, and in pedagogical
features, skills are grounded in a solid research base (and further
highlighted in Skill Builder and Theory Standout boxes). Examples
are extensive and true-to-life, with many utilizing transcripts of
group dialogues so students can see the communication process
unfold (Message and Meaning boxes). A wide range of group types is
presented, from family and social groups, to work teams and task
groups, to discussion and decision-making groups. Whether students'
experiences are with groups that are formal or informal, personal
or professional, task oriented or relationally oriented, they need
communication skills to build and maintain relationships that
support effective problem solving and decision making. Building on
the strengths of previous editions, robust enhancements to this
edition include new chapter opening stories; examples of a wider
variety of group types from in-person to hybrid to virtual; the
inclusion of new trends and research; and updated instructor and
Active Learning resources.
Case studies offer students the opportunity to explore critical
incidents and develop effective strategies for resolution.
Featuring the exclusive, real-life case studies of top
communication scholars, Case Studies for Organizational
Communication: Understanding Communication Processes, Third
Edition, employs a unique applied approach that allows students to
use their knowledge of organizational communication to analyze
typical organizational problems.
Edited by Joann Keyton and Pamela Shockley-Zalabak, the book
includes a variety of open-ended cases that encourage lively
classroom discussions. This format also provides instructors with
greater flexibility in connecting case assignments to their primary
text.
Now in its third edition, the book is enhanced by an updated
companion website (www.oup.com/us/keytonshockley) featuring
instructor resources and case studies from previous editions. Two
new sections--"Organizations and Their Stakeholders" and
"Organizational Crisis"--and twenty-one new readings address a
variety of issues, including organizational technology, teamwork
and group processes, decision-making and problem-solving, and
diversity.
A flexible supplement covering a broad range of contexts and
situations, Case Studies for Organizational Communication, Third
Edition, is an essential resource for helping students devise
successful communication strategies.
