Theme: Researching business communication: perspectives from scholarship, education and practice
CALL FOR PAPERS, POSTERS & PANELS
In recent years business communication has come of age as a field of scientific inquiry in its own right. Written, oral and on-line interaction within and among profit as well as non-profit organizations is now being studied from a wide range of perspectives and using a great many different methods.
This convention is aimed at presenting a state-of-the-art survey of what the field has accomplished so far and where it is heading. In particular, papers, posters and panels are welcomed that present new research on business communication or that address the question of how such scholarship is relevant to education and practice, i.e. how business communication teachers and professionals draw on research findings in going about their daily activities in the field.
Contributions are welcomed on a wide spectrum of business settings, including leadership and management situations, on gatekeeping encounters in a variety of institutions and organizations and through a range of media and cultures, on oral interaction in the workplace, on marketing and PR discourse, on on-line communication, on management, organizational and corporate communication, on global aspects of integrated marketing communications, etc.
Methodologically, the convention is open to wide-ranging efforts, including work in discourse analysis and ethnomethodology, rhetoric and document design, intercultural pragmatics and writing studies, genre analysis, e-semantics and sociolinguistics. Studies from the perspective of marketing or management research are also welcomed.
