Jessica's Web

Women's Advantages in the Knowledge Era

By: George B. Graen

This book is divided into three parts. The first part is about web-construction methods; the second part covers web care and repairs, and finally, the third part outlines systems applications of the web throughout the organization. Remember that your personal web relieves you of needing to undergo a manlike makeover to achieve your dream job. Remain true to your maker’s creation. Finally, I delight in reading about your small and large successes employing Jessica’s Web technology. I feel sorry for those poorly informed individuals who believe that authentic feelings have no place on the job. In the final analysis we are both thinking and feeling beings and cannot deny our emotional side in our occupations. We cannot spend half or more of our waking hours during the week days on activities that do not benefit from our emotional side and be psychologically healthy. Jessica’s Web gives one a way to empower oneself at work and engage both thinking and feeling at work.

Organizational Communication in an Age of Globalization

Issues, Reflections, Practices, Second Edition

By: George Cheney,Lars Thøger Christensen,Theodore E. Zorn, Jr.,Shiv Ganesh

The thought-provoking, timely second edition continues to offer a comprehensive, global perspective on organizational communication. The authors multinational experience, consulting and teaching expertise, enthusiasm for their subject, and engaging style of writing create an inviting foundation for the exploration of this multifaceted topic. Each chapter demonstrates the practicality of theory and how practice contributes to the development of theory, while challenging readers to build on established knowledge to develop new approaches to the pressing problems in complex, multicultural organizations. The text is organized topically around the most important issues in organizational communication. Five themes recur throughout the chapters: the interdependence of internal and external forms of organizational communication, the disciplinarity and multidisciplinarity of organizational communication, global and multicultural perspectives of organizational communication, the unity of theory and practice, and critical thinking in the analysis of organizational messages and discourses. Discussions highlight language and symbolism. The authors weave analysis of the multiple levels of messages throughout the chapters; stimulate critical thinking about contemporary work and organizational life; approach the familiar as unfamiliar; ask probing questions about commonly accepted practices; and offer more imaginative ways of working together. Readers gain an appreciation for the social, political, economic, technological, and ideological contexts in organizationsand the place of organizations within the broader culture. The authors lead by example in encouraging readers to think about, talk about, and experience organizational communication in entirely new ways.

Between Power and Irrelevance

The Future of Transnational NGOs

By: George E. Mitchell,Hans Peter Schmitz,Tosca Bruno-van Vijfeijken

Geopolitical shifts, increasing demands for accountability, and growing competition have been driving the need for change within transnational nongovernmental organizations (TNGOs). As the world has changed and TNGOs' ambitions have expanded, the roles of TNGOs have shifted and their work has become more complex. To remain effective, legitimate, and relevant in the future necessitates organizational changes, but many TNGOs have been slow to adapt. As a result, the sector's rhetoric of sustainable impact and social transformation has far outpaced the reality of TNGOs' more limited abilities to deliver on their promises. Between Power and Irrelevance openly explores why this gap between rhetoric and reality exists and what TNGOs can do individually and collectively to close it. George E. Mitchell, Hans Peter Schmitz, and Tosca Bruno-van Vijfeijken argue that TNGOs need to change the fundamental conditions under which they operate by bringing their own "forms and norms" into better alignment with their ambitions and strategies. This book offers accessible, future-oriented analyses and lessons-learned to assist practitioners and other stakeholders in formulating and implementing organizational changes. Drawing upon a variety of perspectives, including hundreds of interviews with TNGO leaders, firsthand involvement in major organizational change processes in leading TNGOs, and numerous workshops, training institutes, consultancies, and research projects, the book examines how to adapt TNGOs for the future.
