SPEE 36 Organizational Communication and Sustainability

This course examines the theories, discourses, and practices of organizational communication and sustainability. We will draw on communication and rhetorical theory and research to understand the complex dynamics of contemporary organizational contexts. We will use case studies to interrogate the challenges and opportunities that global organizations face in pursuit of sustainable development and learn as well as develop theory-based strategies for maximizing such growth and improving the communication of organizations and their stakeholders. Discussions will focus on concepts of global teamwork, glocalization, civil regulation, agency, and corporate social responsibility (CSR), among others.
