Abstract

Shannon and Weaver’s communication process model is a dominant model used to understand communication between a sender and receiver. The model is used to explain communication in management and organizational behavior textbooks. Despite its proliferation, few studies have examined this model’s role in introductory management and organization behavior texts or critiqued its use in foundational business courses. This paper investigates the role that transmission models such as Shannon and Weaver’s play in communication textbooks and argues that this model, and the way it is used, can be limiting for students when they are trying to understand the dynamic nature of communication in organizations. The authors call for more critical reflection on teaching communication to management students.

管理与组织行为学导论教科书中对传递与沟通模式的批判

Shannon和Weaver的通信过程模型是用于理解发送方和接收方之间通信的主流模型。该模型在管理学和组织行为学教科书中被用来解释沟通。尽管这个模型已经普及，但很少有研究检验这个模型在入门管理和组织行为学文本中的作用，或者批评它在基础商业课程中的使用。本文调查了诸如Shannon和Weaver的传播模型在传播学教科书中所扮演的角色，并认为当学生试图理解组织中传播的动态本质时，这种模型及其使用方式可能会限制学生。作者呼吁对管理学专业学生的交际教学进行更多的批判性反思。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Management Education (JME) encourages contributions that respond to important issues in management education. The overriding question that guides the journal’s double-blind peer review process is: Will this contribution have a significant impact on thinking and/or practice in management education? Contributions may be either conceptual or empirical in nature, and are welcomed from any topic area and any country so long as their primary focus is on learning and/or teaching issues in management or organization studies. Although our core areas of interest are organizational behavior and management, we are also interested in teaching and learning developments in related domains such as human resource management & labor relations, social issues in management, critical management studies, diversity, ethics, organizational development, production and operations, sustainability, etc. We are open to all approaches to scholarly inquiry that form the basis for high quality knowledge creation and dissemination within management teaching and learning.
