Rethinking organizational & managerial communication from feminist perspectives
Patrice M. Buzzanell (Editor)
The contributions critique specific aspects of the literature such as chaos theory, leadership, and careers, and suggest ways to improve the discipline. Part I consists of theoretical analyses that reconceptualize and extend boundaries in our thinking about work and organizing processes. The chapters propose an alternative view of public-private discourse, stakeholder ethics, socialization processes, and negotiation by contrasting traditional approaches with feminist values. Part II presents womens voices through interview excerpts, poems, diary entries, and stories and explores the ways in which these concrete details of ordinary lives represent missing facets and nuances of our organizational and managerial communication work. Part III contains chapters that rewrite organizational and managerial constructs
