Absolutely Awesome! March 29, 2002 Andrew F. Herrmann (Granite City, IL United States) 15 out of 18 found this review helpful
Katherine has put together an excellent org com textbook: well-written, concise and very well organized. From Time-Motion Studies to Maslow to Theory Y, Ms. Miller gets down to the point, uses tremendous examples and gives excellent bibloigraphic information for further study.I took Org. Com. as the first communication class I ever had, and although it was a 400-level course, Kathy's book helped make it not only a pleasure and a joy, but the defining class in my determination to pursue an MA in Communication in the Fall of 2002.
i guess it's not bad May 1, 2010 K. Chan I am NOT really reviewing the content of this book, so please don't say this review wasn't helpful.
I just want to say that there are international versions of this textbook, which is the same, that can be bought on other websites (a certain auction website). I got mine for about $32 (not a hardcover) with no shipping fee.
But in terms of the content of this book, it has been pretty straight forward and easy to understand so far (I haven't finished my organizational communications course).
Nice buy June 11, 2009 H. Zemmahi (Ames, Iowa) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
A good buy from Amazon. The book is in good shape yet has some highlighting inside that I sometimes find annoying.
Organizational Communication Textbook October 1, 2008 Peppermint Patty 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This textbook has informative historical aspects of organizational communication. Business majors would benefit from this textbook for citing useful material for papers. Case analysis are peppered throughout the book for easy application and comprehension. Recommended read for business students
Could be better... June 7, 2010 ama4889 (Chicago, IL) This book could do with some revising. The important terms are not bold, but italic. Headings only loosely describe what you are learning. There are no "key terms" type boxes, or review questions at the end except for some touchy-feely discussion questions.
If your professor is using the test bank for the book, be forewarned that you will have to dig for the key concepts in each chapter.
Earth to Katherine Miller, no one in their right mind is going to read your book cover-to-cover because they want to. Any study skills class will enlighten you to how students actually cover textbook material.
