Whereas many organizational communication texts address internal communication processes, few consider the efforts that companies expend to communicate with external stakeholders. Likewise, many texts that concentrate on public relations or advertising consider external communication, but fail to give attention to internal communication. Combining both points of view, this text explains how an entire organization operates through enactments of personnel and external stakeholders. Central to this book is a concern for meaning and its influence on the performance of jobs in response to expectations of co-workers and external publics. The concept of narrative is used to explain how individual and organization performance is the expression of personae that are best when enacted jointly -- in varying degrees of coordination -- to satisfy mutual performance expectations. Narrative explains the power of organizational meaning, interpersonal contacts, group performance, stakeholder negotiation, and internal and external organizational zones of meaning -- assumptions that are shared by people who enact an organization through coordinated efforts.

What factors shape our views and those of others? How do we distinguish between differences that are substantive and will affect our relationships and those that only feel strange because they are new and different? In the absence of formal instruction, we learn through trial and error. Unfortunately, the error is frequently not perceived as such--particularly when it is part of so "natural" a process as communication. James McCroskey and Virginia Richmond present the essentials of interpersonal communication in a concise but thorough, readable book with numerous examples to attract the reader's attention to exactly what communication is and what it is not. The authors provide a solid introduction to the cognitive aspects of the communication process, orientations toward communication, the importance of nonverbal communication and messages, and the critical contexts within which interpersonal communication occurs. Clues to the communication process aid readers in understanding others and in assessing and improving their own communication skills.

Interpersonal Divide: The Search for Community in a Technological Age seeks to answer the question: have media and technology created a social gap, eroding our sense of community? Michael Bugeja tackles this question by taking a broad and interdisciplinary approach, incorporating a number of different viewpoints--including global, ethical, philosophical, corporate, pop cultural, and social perspectives. This book traces media history in a comprehensive manner to show how changes resulting from the technology revolution of the 1990s have impacted society. With its emphasis on community and the impact of media over-consumption, Interpersonal Divide evaluates how, when and where we use media and technology, and what, why and to whom people communicate. Finally, Bugeja offers solutions for increasing the sense of community and using media and technology to enhance rather than obliterate interpersonal relationships.
