This edition includes coverage of international organizations, managing cultural differences, the impact of new technologies, and postmodern organizational models, giving students an accurate picture of the modern working world.- Offers integrated pedagogical tools. Organizational Communication allows instructors and students to further explore the issues presented in the book. Case studies in each chapter show students how theory becomes practice and innovative What Would You Do? boxes (one or more in most chapters) present scenarios that require ethical decisions, helping students grasp ethical issues.
