Organizational communication is the chapter that I feel like needs further discussion. Organization, “is a system consisting of a large number of people working together in a structured way to accomplish multiple goals” (Trenholm,, 2008, p. 215). I think this topic needs further discussion because I think we are in college and soon to be out in the society. Topics like intercultural communication and organizational communication are going to affect us greatly in a working environment. For the most of are going into the corporate world it is very important for us to understand organizational world. However, I feel like this chapter didn’t explain enough internal aspects in the organization. For example, how does one become part of the organization, how is diversity effects the organization…etc.Topics like the norms, roles, ritual, and diversity in a organization isn’t discuss in the book and I think these are the topic can effect us greatly once we start working in a corporate environment.
That's a good point that at this point of our life and this day in age, organizational and intercultural skills are very important. I feel as though many people over look organization and the communication within (myself included). Many of our classes have given some preparation to dealing with organizational communication, but it is just a stepping stone to the degree in which we will have to deal with it in the corporate environment. It's one of those things, though, that yes, we can read about, but it is the experience that we have with organizations that will allow us to really learn and grow.
