Managerial Communication

The first book of its kind to offer a unique functions

approach to managerial communication, Managerial Communication

explores what the communication managers

actually do in business across the planning, organizing,

leading, and controlling functions. Focusing on theory and

application that will help managers and future managers

understand the practices of management communication,

this book combines ideas from industry experts, popular

culture, news events, and academic articles and books

written by leading scholars.

All of the levels of communication (intrapersonal, interpersonal,

group, organizational, and intercultural) play a

role in managerial communication and are discussed thoroughly.

The top, middle, and frontline communications in

which managers engage are also addressed. Expounding

on theories of communication, the authors relate them to

the theories of management—such as crisis management,

impression management, equity theory, and effective presentation

skills. These are the skills that are invaluable to

management.
