This blog will provide students of Organizational Communication, a weekly class of the College of New Rochelle in downtown Manhattan, a space for discussion, contemplation and general communication musings. The course syllabus and schedule can be found here as well as weekly class journal postings. Side bar links will lead to additional class readings and resources to assist students with the completion of a semester-long organizational communication project. Good luck and enjoy the lesson!

Week Seven: Workshop I

This week's lesson offered the class a chance to review the many theories discussed thus far. Each student presented the gist of their research, ranging from the classical notions of Taylor, Fayol and Weber through the introduction of human and cultural elements. While each paper examined a single theory in-depth, our combined efforts provided the class a full, complex picture of the history of organizational communications and, more importantly, of its role in the evolution of human societies, economies, and worldviews.

A final draft of the research paper will be due on March, 15th! Below are some elements that make a good research paper. Please keep them in mind as you finish your work. And, remember to proofread for all those pesky grammar, spelling and punctuations mistakes!



This .pdf was created from a research paper writer's guide posted by Holt, Rinehart and Winston at Research Paper.

what I have learned while doing this research is that there are many theories that have similarities that some how relate to each other.

I learned from my research that Taylor, Fayol, and Weber theories started the way organizations work today.

Each theory of organizational communication relies upon an underlying metaphor (machine, human, organism) that serves as the framework for the entire theory, including its structures, rules, values and knowledge.

There are many theory's but I feel that there is not just one the would apply to my job.

My job consists of more than one unit but we are one department. Each unit is ran under a diffrent program manager which has his or her own rules. At times you may have more than one theory that fits in one day.

I hope to be able to use at least one in my paper.

I believe that the Taylor's Scientific Management theories is applied in almost every company in some form or fashion. this is how the companies organized their enviorment for example the fast food chain and the post office.
