Corporate communications: convention, complexity and critique

The field of corporate communications describes the practices organizations use to communicate as coherent corporate “bodies”. Drawing on the metaphor of the body and on a variety of theories and disciplines, Corporate Communications: Convention, Complexity and Critique challenges the idealized notion that organizations can and should communicate as unified wholes. The authors pose important questions such as: – Where does the central idea of corporate communications come from? – What are the underlying assumptions of most corporate communications practices? – What are the organizational and ethical challenges of attempting truly ‘corporate’ communication? Clearly written with international vignettes and executive briefings, this book shows that in a complex world the management of communication needs to embrace multiple opinions and voices.
