Overview of class

The affordances of new technologies and changes in the modern business landscape have fundamentally transformed strategic communication. Where previous research and practice has separated public relations from organizational communication, the modern environment makes such a distinction not only meaningless, but dangerous. This course, using case studies and foundational readings, explores the nature of the modern organization and the role of communication in it.
