Preparing For Change: What Is Learned From The Knowledge Executive?, Robert M. Smith Oct 1987

Preparing For Change: What Is Learned From The Knowledge Executive?, Robert M. Smith

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article discusses the concept of the “knowledge executive” and its implications for leadership, education, and communication in an information-dependent society. It emphasizes how rapid technological change and the growing centrality of information have transformed leadership roles, requiring executives to be generalists capable of synthesizing diverse perspectives, managing ambiguity, and fostering collaboration. The discussion highlights lessons for executives, including the need for integrative thinking, participatory decision-making, and foresight in anticipating second-order consequences. For education, it underscores the importance of liberal arts training in developing problem-solving, ethical reasoning, cultural awareness, and global perspectives. Finally, the article identifies communication as an essential …

The Future Of Interpersonal Communication, W. Barnett Pearce, Karen A. Foss

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the development and future of interpersonal communication as a central area within the communication discipline. It traces the historical debate between rhetorical and speech traditions, the emergence of mass communication research, and the eventual rise of interpersonal communication as a distinct focus. Three major approaches—objective scientific, humanistic celebration, and humane scientific—are outlined, each offering different perspectives on communication processes. The discussion highlights the impact of broader social and political contexts, meta-theoretical debates within the field, and the growing influence of new-paradigm social theory. By situating communication within long-standing Western traditions of actuality, transcendence, and possibility, the article …

Defining The Organization, Philip K. Tompkins Aug 1987

Defining The Organization, Philip K. Tompkins

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reflects on the role of department chairs in universities, drawing on experience in governance and administration to offer both theoretical and practical insights. It introduces the tension between structure and communitas, arguing that academic organizations often emphasize hierarchy at the expense of collegial bonds. Practical strategies include “penetration,” or building connections two levels up and down in the hierarchy, and developing persistence in advocating for departmental needs despite apprehension. The discussion addresses expectations from deans, the challenge of maintaining order without stifling conflict, and the ambiguity of rational versus irrational decision-making in complex systems. Additional observations concern how …

Organizational Qualities Of Academic Departments, Michael Pacanowsky Aug 1987

Organizational Qualities Of Academic Departments, Michael Pacanowsky

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article explores the qualities of organizational culture that can make academic departments more enabling rather than constraining. Drawing on a sabbatical experience with W.L. Gore & Associates, the discussion contrasts corporate practices with academic structures. Gore’s culture emphasized freedom, fairness, commitment, and open communication, supported by a lattice-style structure and sponsorship instead of hierarchical management. From this model, six principles of empowering organizations are identified: distributing power and opportunity, maintaining open communication, using integrative problem-solving, encouraging challenge within trust, fostering self-responsibility, and learning from organizational contradictions. The article applies these principles to higher education, offering questions for administrators to …

Female Leadership In Male-Dominated Organizations, Sue Dewine Aug 1987

Female Leadership In Male-Dominated Organizations, Sue Dewine

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines female leadership in male-dominated organizational cultures, particularly within the field of communication. It critiques common advice that encourages women to imitate masculine leadership models, arguing that such approaches create sterile environments and diminish the unique strengths women bring to leadership. The discussion reviews research on organizational culture and the influence of administrators in shaping departmental climates, highlighting persistent barriers faced by women in higher education. Evidence shows that female administrators often experience role conflict, isolation, and burnout, despite having skills comparable to male counterparts. Recommendations include embracing androgynous leadership traits, building professional networks, and promoting cultural change …

Stories, Accounts, And Organizational Power, Stanley Deetz Aug 1987

Stories, Accounts, And Organizational Power, Stanley Deetz

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the role of power in academic organizations, with a focus on how departmental chairs mediate between collegial traditions and corporate administrative structures. Power is framed as both enabling and constraining, manifested not only in direct influence but also in agenda setting, hidden assumptions, and language use. The discussion highlights how storytelling and account-giving shape organizational life, with chairs serving as both accountants of departmental realities and narrators of institutional identity. Stories function to socialize members, naturalize practices, neutralize political interests, and legitimate decisions, thereby influencing whether discussions remain open or become closed. The article concludes that chairs …

Leadership And Conflict Management, Linda L. Putnam Aug 1987

Leadership And Conflict Management, Linda L. Putnam

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines conflict management as a central component of organizational life, particularly within educational settings. Conflict is defined as interaction among interdependent parties over perceived incompatible goals or actions, with potential to be either destructive or constructive. Constructive management emphasizes clarity, openness, and trust, while destructive approaches foster rigidity, defensiveness, and escalation. The discussion explores the unique features of academic organizations, including loosely coupled systems, competing goals, scarce resources, and divided professional loyalties, which make them especially prone to disputes. Strategies reviewed include conflict styles such as confrontation, forcing, smoothing, compromising, and avoiding, as well as bargaining approaches that …

The Future Of Organizational Communication: An Outline Of Postmodernism, Phillip Tompkins Aug 1987

The Future Of Organizational Communication: An Outline Of Postmodernism, Phillip Tompkins

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article outlines the past, present, and possible future trajectories of organizational communication, emphasizing the shift from modernist approaches toward postmodern alternatives. The field’s history is traced through three eras—preparation, consolidation, and maturity—culminating in recent developments that challenge the dominance of prediction, control, and managerial perspectives. Emerging orientations, including naturalistic and critical approaches, have expanded the scope of inquiry by highlighting social construction, culture, symbolism, and emancipatory goals. Concerns are raised about uncritical pro-management biases, the overuse of psychological models, and the risks of excessive vocationalism that could narrow the discipline’s academic role. In response, the article advocates for interdependent …

Negotiating And Bargaining In Academic Settings, Larry D. Browning, James A. Gilchrist Aug 1987

Negotiating And Bargaining In Academic Settings, Larry D. Browning, James A. Gilchrist

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines political decision making in academic organizations, contrasting the rational-economic model with the realities of negotiation and bargaining in complex environments. It argues that limited information, conflicting goals, and interdependent subunits make purely rational decision making impractical, leading instead to “satisficing” outcomes shaped by coalitions and informal networks. The discussion highlights how leaders use influence, resource control, and interpersonal exchanges to stabilize authority and secure commitments. A set of practical negotiation rules is outlined, emphasizing strategies such as coalition building, impression management, strategic disclosure, patience, and maintaining options. These practices help leaders navigate ambiguity, manage power dynamics, and …
