Description

"Eisenberg's book is refreshing, in addition to its theoretical merits, for the presence of a distinctive human voice, unafraid to express passion, anger and hope.

Readers will benefit enormously from the substance of his book, but also from its form."—HUMAN RELATIONSIn Strategic Ambiguities: Essays on Communication, Organization, and Identity, Eric M.

Eisenberg, an internationally recognized leader in the theory and practice of organizational communication, collects and reflects upon more than two decades of his writing.

Strategic Ambiguities is a provocative journey through the development of a new aesthetics of communication that rejects fundamentalisms and embraces a contingent, life-affirming worldview.

Strategic Ambiguities: Explores the role of language and communication in the construction of social structures and personal identities.

Provides a useful intellectual and historical context for students through framing chapters and head notes developed especially for this volume. Chronicles the historical development of an important argument about communicating and organizing through the sustained focus on a single theorist. Intended Audience:This text is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses such as Organizational Communication, Communication Theory, and Organizational Behavior in the fields of Communication, Business & Management, and Educational Leadership. "This collection of essays is insightful, thought-provoking, and forward-looking.

Eric Eisenberg takes on challenging positions, writes in a cogent and accessible manner, and always stimulates new scholarship.

This work will be an important teaching tool, not just for the innovative content of the writing, but also for the historical narrative of organizational communication embedded in it." —Steve May, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"Lay audiences will find the text rich with evocative narratives even as the theoretical moves will engage students and teacher-scholars.

This edited compilation is likely to serve as a springboard for future inquiry and an invaluable resource for teaching and learning in undergraduate and graduate communication courses." —THE REVIEW OF COMMUNICATION
