The course surveys the foundations of the study of communication in organizations as well as current perspectives and theoretical debates, emphasizing the theoretical perspectives over empirical research. The course considers organizations as both the locations of communication as well as the units of analysis in communication. Topics to be covered include the foundations of organizational communication, the communicative constitution of organizations; structuration; culture and communication climate; identity and identification; institutional perspectives on organizations; power, politics, and democracy; networks of organizations; and organizational discourse. The course will be taught with a combination of readings, short lectures, and discussions. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

Theories placing an emphasis on how messages impact the persuasion process will be reviewed. Moreover, theories that address how individuals cognitively and emotionally process these messages will be examined. By the end of the semester, students will have a greater understanding of numerous persuasion theories as well as how to apply these frameworks into their own studies of persuasion. This course is intended to provide a solid foundation for you to build upon in your subsequent coursework and research trajectory. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
