Rethinking Organizational and Managerial Communication from Feminist Perspectives

Eleven chapters are not as much about "women's issues" as about the ways that conventional approaches often exclude the concerns, values, and life experience voiced by members of traditionally excluded groups. The hope of editor Buzzanell (communications, Purdue U.) is that feminist approaches to organizational and managerial communications are grounded in the belief that we can create an equitable and ethical vision for organizational lives and processes. The contributions critique specific aspects of the literature such as chaos theory, leadership, and careers, and suggest ways to improve the discipline. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
