Corporate Communication: Building Confidence Between The Academic And Business Worlds, William B. Snavely, Dan Sullivan Apr 1984

Corporate Communication: Building Confidence Between The Academic And Business Worlds, William B. Snavely, Dan Sullivan

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Focused on organizational communication and business practice, this article examines the relationship between academic communication programs and corporate communication work. It describes how businesses define communication purposes, expected outcomes, professional roles, and communication systems, including employee publications, surveys, meetings, suggestion programs, audits, and other feedback mechanisms. The discussion identifies competencies needed by communication professionals, including interpersonal communication, management, persuasion, research, group facilitation, instruction, oral presentation, and mass communication skills. It also considers how academic departments can improve the image and usefulness of communication degrees through advisory councils, business visitors, faculty internships, student internships, interdisciplinary coursework, certification, and more accessible research …


Teaching Research Methodology And Writing In The Emerald City, Larry D. Miller Apr 1984

Teaching Research Methodology And Writing In The Emerald City, Larry D. Miller

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Using the metaphor of graduate school as an Emerald City, this article examines the teaching of research methodology and scholarly writing in speech communication graduate programs. It distinguishes undergraduate emphasis on existing knowledge from graduate emphasis on how knowledge is generated, evaluated, and shared. The discussion identifies problems in graduate instruction, including insufficient attention to research methods, unrealistic expectations for beginning students, and low expectations for master’s students as potential contributors to the discipline. It also proposes practical teaching strategies that make graduate work more closely resemble professional scholarly activity, including book reviews, manuscript evaluation, convention style presentations, and research …


Theatre Perspectives On The Field Of Communication, Donald L. Loeffler Apr 1984

Theatre Perspectives On The Field Of Communication, Donald L. Loeffler

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Theatre perspectives on communication are presented through an account of theatre as a communicative art and as a field connected to speech communication, performance, media, education, and allied disciplines. The article describes theatre production as a structured exchange of messages among playwrights, directors, actors, designers, technicians, and audiences. It emphasizes the director as a designer of communication who organizes voice, movement, space, design, timing, and audience response into a coherent performance experience. The article also situates theatre within broader communication studies by considering audience analysis, cultural expectations, media competition, and the professional preparation of theatre students. It concludes by encouraging …


Communication As A Field Of Research, James A. Anderson Apr 1984

Communication As A Field Of Research, James A. Anderson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Communication as a field of research is examined through the diversity of scholarly communities, research levels, methods, values, and traditions that shape the discipline. The article describes communication research as organized around sociological levels, elements of the communication process, and delimiting variables that form overlapping interest groups. It also considers how research perspectives, including managerial, policy, technological, industry, and critical orientations, influence questions, interpretations, and disciplinary conflicts. Rather than presenting communication as a unified field with a single object or method, the article identifies common threads that connect research communities, including the central role of communication in social behavior, the …


Evaluation: Reactivity And Validity, Samuel L. Becker Apr 1984

Evaluation: Reactivity And Validity, Samuel L. Becker

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

The article considers how evaluation systems for artistic faculty can change the behavior they are intended to assess. Focusing on reactivity and validity, it cautions that criteria for promotion, tenure, and reappointment may encourage faculty to pursue prizes, outside work, audience appeal, or individual credit in ways that may or may not support departmental goals. The discussion argues that institutions should align evaluation procedures with their actual missions, whether those missions emphasize artistic innovation, cultural service, or student education. It also distinguishes artistic criteria from educational criteria and urges administrators to consider the likely effects of each assessment method. The …


Public Relations And Messages: Information, Persuasion, And Influence, Richard Crable Apr 1984

Public Relations And Messages: Information, Persuasion, And Influence, Richard Crable

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Examining public relations as an academic and professional field, this article addresses controversies over disciplinary location, curriculum, organizational expectations, and the relationship between communication, journalism, business, and management. It reviews competing conceptions of public relations and emphasizes the need for stronger research, clearer models, and closer attention to public relations as communication management. The discussion places information, persuasion, and influence at the center of public relations practice, arguing that informing and persuading operate as related forms of influence within organizational and public settings. It also identifies several communication loops connecting organizations, publics, employees, managers, practitioners, and teachers. The article situates …
