Building Theories of Organization: The Constitutive Role of Communication

By Linda L. Putnam

Book Overview

This volume explores the concept of communication as it applies to organizational theory, comparing and contrasting approaches to the notion that communication constitutes organization. Chapters also examine the ways that those processes produce patterns that endure over time and that constitute the organization as a whole. This collection bridges different disciplines and serves a vital role in developing dimensions, characteristics, and relationships among concepts that address how communication constitutes organization.
