Use an organization with which you are familiar. With that organization in mind, fill out the applicable parts of the matrix.
You’ve been hired by the organization you wrote about during Week 2 to evaluate its organizational communication and how it impacts efficiency at the organization. Your job is to suggest ways the organization can improve its organizational communication and improve efficiency/productivity.
On the matrix, there are four themes (Traditional, Relational, Cultural, and Network) and nine common characteristics (system, rules/norms, hierarchy, communication networks, organizational networks, leadership approaches, mgt communication/decision making, power, and conflict).
Using these themes and all the associated info we’ve learned in the reading so far to identify communication problems in the nine common characteristics. Be sure to use the info we’ve been reading and learning.
Mark the box (or boxes) that apply to the organization you’re evaluating. Which theme / common characteristic is impacting efficiency/productivity at that organization?
Add a brief explanation of why you chose the box and use our course material to support your explanation. Your explanations should include significant information from our course reading.
