• An Audience Interpretation of Corporate Communication in a Cause-Related Corporate Outreach Event: The Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk

Drawing upon a cultural studies perspective, this study investigates the audience role in shaping corporate involvement in social issues - identified as cause-related corporate outreach. We assert that, more than consumer, voter, or passive receptor of corporate messages, the audience is an active participant in the communication process. This case study of the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk, one of the most visible fitness-based fundraising events, examines the meaning individual participants construct during their involvement in the event. The study provides a context in which public relations practitioners and scholars alike can better understand the role corporate communication plays in defining and preserving community and social values. This understanding can help corporations buil...

• Attitudes Towards Tqm and the Communication Process Between Managers and Subordinates

In this study, we examine, on the one hand, the link between employees' readiness to accept TQM and their perceptions regarding managers, and, on the other hand, the relationship between these perceptions and communication patterns between managers and subordinates. We found, somewhat paradoxically, that employees with less favorable perceptions of managers reported a more positive stance toward TQM and that perceptions of managers were closely related to the openness of both top-down and bottom-up communication.

• Knowledge Type and Communication Media Choice in the Knowledge Transfer Process

The literature suggests that transferring knowledge may lead to a competitive advantage, synergistic cost advantages, and better implementation of organizational strategies, but there is little empirical evidence to guide organizations in managing the knowledge transfer process. This research explores how organizations use communication media to transfer or share knowledge. Building upon media richness theory (Daft and Lengel, 1986), we hypothesize that rich media would be used more often to transfer know-how or tacit knowledge, and lean media would be used more often to transfer information or explicit knowledge. The results of our survey of 287 employees in five hospitals provided support for our hypotheses and were relatively consistent for hospital administrators, nursing directors,...

• Interaction and Communication in the Process of Education and Shared Common Area in the Classroom

School is an institution that plays a significant role in a child's life. Being an active employee in this institution, a teacher should be democratic, tender, patient, reliable and humorous to his/her students during the interaction and communication processes so that the teaching and learning processes are affected positively. It is important to create a common living space in the classroom for students that have different family, economic, cultural and living backgrounds in order to achieve better motivation and learning. In the common living space in the classroom, the teacher creates a common living space with the students while the students do the same thing among themselves and accordingly a common synergy is created. Therefore this descriptive study aims to describe a common liv...
