COMMUNICATION IN BUSINESS
This paper examines how we think and talk about workplace communication and how this shapes the way communication occurs and is managed. It portrays the workplace as a dynamic discursive system created by the interaction of tasks, technologies, and social processes. It critically examines how this discursive system shapes rationality, decision-making, personal identity, and participation in the workplace. The focus is on communication from both managerial and subordinate perspectives.
