Effective communication is at the heart of any successful human endeavour. This timely new edition of the highly successful Communication: Organisation and Innovation shows how innovative methods of communication teaching and learning can benefit and strengthen all organisations, especially in today's fast-changing business world.

Key topics and their effect on communication that are addressed in this latest edition include: Social media; Global recession; International and crosscultural communication in New Zealand and globally; Ethics, sustainability and accountability.
