| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
The course provides insight into the scientific disciplines
and perspectives that have shaped research on organizational
communication. Next to the introduction of major theories and
key concepts, students will develop analytical competencies to
undertake their own empirical studies in organizational
communication. They will be exposed to both qualitative and
quantitative research methodologies and methods. The emphasis of
the course is then to provide students with a set of theories
and tools with which they are capable to analyze issue in
organization and communication, and to evaluate the
applicability of analytical methodologies and methods to
organizational practice.
The course highlights readings that address both theoretical
perspectives within organizational communication and organizational
empirical realities. The course emphasizes the pedagogical
principle of participant-based learning, which means
that active engagement of students is required. This includes
participating in dialogue and discussion with other students as
well as with the lecturers.
