Organizations run the world, yet they do not always function in ideal and understandable ways. This course is designed to help students understand the complexities of communication in the workplace, government, and other organizations, and perhaps even improve it. "Communication" here refers to both communication between members of an organization, and between the organization and the outside world.
NOTE: The section Jeremy Rose teaches is reserved for graduate students in the Strategic Communication M.A. program - no undergraduates admitted.
