The Organisational Communication (ORG) Working Group seeks to contribute to the theoretical and practical understanding of the place, purpose, manifestations and implications of communication within and across organisational borders, from critical, structural and strategic perspectives. A critical approach to organisational communication encourages the debate about democracy, organisations, power and public opinion in a mediatised and networked world. A structural approach highlights the different organisations from private to public and/or civil society sectors, and their models of communication practice as well as the complex dynamics within various publics that shape communication within and across them. Both classical and cutting-edge models of communication prove the importance of studying different organisations’ discourses and narratives from a strategic, integrated and multilevel perspective.
This Working Group provides a dedicated platform for discussions on communication within, across, by, for and on organisations, defined broadly to refer to corporates, political parties, social and nonprofit organisations, governments etc. It invites contemplations not only from an organisation-centric perspective but also from societal and cultural perspectives.
