An essential resource for anyone in the field of communication studies, Communication Yearbook 16 is an annual review designed for use in graduate and other classes to increase familiarity with the scope and direction of communication studies. Like its successful predecessors, it provides readers with the most current and innovative research in the communication field and, through carefully selected commentaries, allows for an ongoing dialogue among leading scholars. The first part of the volume focuses on the study of communication within corporate organizations and complements the mass media focus of volume 15 and the interpersonal interaction focus planned for volume 17. Part II explores the role of communication studies with such timely issues as communication technology, globalization, and multiculturalism. The final section focuses on three theoretical debates in interpersonal and group communication. Commentaries on each chapter provide alternative perspectives, extend issues of significance, and help engage the reader in the contemporary debates in each area. Communication Yearbook 16 is an important research tool, offering a forum for public debate of leading issues. Students--as well as others with a general interest in communication studies--will find it to be an accessible entry into the latest insights and conceptions of major scholars in the field today.
