Effective communication is at the heart of any successful human endeavour or enterprise and Communication: Organisation and Innovation shows how innovative methods of communication teaching and learning can strengthen and benefit organisations. The book also reflects an important new development in the teaching of business communication in New Zealand where business communication is viewed as part of a complex and ongoing dialogue between theory and practice. Throughout the book, there is a movement from theory to practice, from the general to the specific, from the abstract to the applied, from an understanding of the individual to an understanding of the organisation. The book is intended for business and organisational communication courses at levels 4 and 5. It is particularly appropriate for the New Zealand Diploma in Business and the New Zealand Diploma in Information and Communication Technology.
