Rezensionen

"Once in a decade, a handbook of organizational communication is compiled that integrates specialist insights and general interest topics. This 4th handbook of Organizational Communication stands out by incorporating exciting new research areas like AI. It is an indispensable resource for scholars and students of the field."
Michelle Dawn Shumate, Delaney Family University Research Professor, Northwestern University

"This Handbook accomplishes the seemingly impossible: Bringing novelty to the stories of this heterogeneous field's history, highlighting nascent themes of traditional foci, and expanding both conceptual boundaries and analytical agendas. Miller and Poole urged the field's intellectual leaders to imagine

alternative futures for both their topics and the field as a whole; as a result, the volume is a monumental achievement and a significant resource for the field."
Timothy Kuhn, Professor, Dept of Communication, University of Colorado Boulder

"Herein lies a bedrock of innovative ideas, creative theories, and ground-breaking methods on which the next generation of organizational communication scholarship, research, and practical applications will be built. This treasure chest of state-of-the-art research findings, innovative theoretical musings, and creative methods articulated by our field's leading scholars will shape the future of the discipline for the next decade."
Peter Monge and Janet Fulk, Emeritus Professors of Communication, Annenberg School of Communication, and Emeritus Professors of Management and Organization, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California
