Organizational Communication: A Critical Approach is the first textbook in the field that is written from a critical perspective while providing a comprehensive survey of theory and
research in organizational communication. The text familiarizes students with the field of organizational communication-historically, conceptually, and practically-and challenges them to
reconsider their common sense understandings of work and organizations, preparing them for participation in 21st century organizational settings. Linking theory with practice, Mumby
skillfully explores the significant role played by organizations and corporations in constructing our identities. The book thus provides important ways for students to critically reflect on
their own relationships to work, consumption, and organizations.
