Speech 70/Bus 80
An empowered organization is one in which individuals have
the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way
that leads to collective organizational success. -Stephen R. Covey
Course Description
Effective Organizational Communication is a hands-on practical class that examines
communication and reasoning in the context of effective group problem solving. Organizations
are an integral part of our daily lives and much of our communication is within an organizational
setting. In this course we will study concepts and theories relevant to organizational
communication and apply these to communication issues and problems facing organizations.
This course is intended to provide students with an understanding of strategic organizational
communication -- the ability to analyze a situation, select appropriate communication strategies
from a number of available options, and enact those strategies effectively.
I believe that true learning only occurs when everyone is involved and interested in the material
presented. Our class will consist of a combination of lectures, discussions, group activities,
projects, and presentations. Through constructive feedback, we will all have the opportunity to
teach and help each other. I encourage you to use this course to explore and broaden your world
view. Please, challenge yourself and explore issues that matter to you.
