Mumby, D. K. 2017. Organisational Communication, critical approach, Sage.

The course International Comm with Impact adopts a critical approach to organisational communication within global context. The course takes up the knowledge acquired in the previous key competence (eg. Teamwork and Project Management, People and Culture, Professional Communication), integrates and further develops it by delving deeper into organisational communication theory and research.
During the course the students link theory with practical case studies by theorising and implementing their knowledge, and by analysing, criticising and contrasting communication tools in specific business cases. The students’ thinking and beliefs are challenged, to prepare them for success in today’s organisational settings.

When the implementation type of the course is contact, online or blended it is required that the student is present during those teaching hours that are marked in the study schedule. If you are absent more than 25 %, your grade will be lowered by one. If you are absent more than 50 %, the course is failed.
