More Description
Communicating and Organizing in Contextnbsp;integrates Giddens' structuration theory with Goffman's interaction order and develops a new theoretical base--the theory of structurational interaction--for the analysis of communicating and organizing.nbsp;Both theorists emphasize tacit knowledge, social routines, context, social practices, materiality, frames, agency,nbsp;and view communication as constitutive of social life and of organizing. Thus their integration in structurational interaction provides a coherent, communication-centric approach to analyzing communicating, organizing and their interrelationships.
This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars as an orientation to the field of organizational communication and as an integration of organizing and communicating. It will also be useful for practitionersnbsp;as a tool fornbsp;understanding how conceptual frames limit possibilities and constitute the nature of organizing and members' participation in organizations.
