The purpose of this module is to provide insight into the scientific disciplines and directions which have shaped research on organizational communication. The aim is to provide students with knowledge of the key concepts, models and perspectives within communication theory, which are particularly directed towards the study of organizational communication. It is further the aim, that students will develop their analytical competencies on relevant cases. The emphasis, thereby, is placed on providing students with tools with which to analyze organizational and communication-oriented issues, and to evaluate the applicability of analytical methodologies to organizational practice. The module further aims to provided students with an appreciation of the political (such as power-related) and organizational contexts within which communication analyses in organizations take place. It is an important aim that students not only achieve theoretical knowledge of communication and organizations, but that students are also able to apply such knowledge directly and actively on specific empirical issues and practical situations. Specific emphasis is, therefore, placed on students’ ability to apply methodologies on the analysis of practical organizational and communication-related issues in an informed and reflective manner. | |||||||||
