    Processes
  • Studying organizational communication requires
    looking at how communication processes contribute
    to the coordination of behavior in working toward
    organization and individual goals.

  • Conrad, C. and Poole, M. S. (1998), in Strategic
    organizational communication
  • Break the definition of organizational
    communication in parts, by first defining
    communication and then analyses the organization.

34
  • Conrad, C. and Poole, M. S. (1998), in Strategic
    organizational communication define
    communication as a process through which people,
    acting together, create, sustain, and manage
    meanings through the use of verbal and nonverbal
    signs and symbols within a particular context
  • They state that organizational communication,
    unlike interpersonal communication, is much more
    complex in that we communicate with our
    colleagues at work because we both like them and
    also because our responsibilities force us to do
    so.
