Designed for courses in organisational communication this book focuses on organizational structure and the impact that an organisation's design and operation have on its communicative processes. The text explains why communication problems occur and how they can be detected and solved. The principle that an organisation's need for control and coordination is in constant tension with an individual's need for autonomy and creativity is employed as the theme of the text.

Chapter-length treatments of power and politics, stress, entering organisations, message strategies, decision-making, gender roles, race/ethnicity, and ethics all appeared in Strategic Organisational Communication before they appeared in any other text. The fourth edition continues this tradition, with new sections on technology networks, systems, and group processes, at the same time retaining the concepts and analyses that distinguish this from all other communication texts.

Over the last several decades, academic discourse on racial inequality has focused primarily on political and social issues with significantly less attention on the complex interplay between race and economics. African Americans in the U.S. Economy represents a contribution to recent scholarship that seeks to lessen this imbalance. This book builds upon, and significantly extends, the principles, terminology, and methods of standard economics and black political economy. Influenced by path-breaking studies presented in several scholarly economic journals, this volume is designed to provide a political-economic analysis of the past and present economic status of African Americans. The chapters in this volume represent the work of some of the nation's most distinguished scholars on the various topics presented. The individual chapters cover several well-defined areas, including black employment and unemployment, labor market discrimination, black entrepreneurship, racial economic inequality, urban revitalization, and black economic development. The book is written in a style free of the technical jargon that characterizes most economics textbooks. While the book is methodologically sophisticated, it is accessible to a wide range of students and the general public and will appeal to academicians and practitioners alike.
