Communication In Management

Management communication encompasses a wide range of practices that define modern organizations. Those practices are, in many respects, constituted, formed and contextualized by the use of language. This handbook traces the theoretical modelling of these practices by contemporary research. It explores their linguistic features and performance in specific situations of value creation and in various modes. It is a companion for students and scholars of applied linguistics and organizational communication as well as management and strategy research.

Communication Management is an edited volume of chapters written by scholars researching various areas of marketing and management sciences.

The last chapter introduces the reader to the issue of marketing communication in a sharply non-standard environment.
