SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book examines communication at a number of levels ranging from interpersonal interactions between project participants to corporate communication between organisations. Several non-typical perspectives on the process of communication are introduced, to encourage the reader to think about communication in a more innovative manner. The combination of differing perspectives illustrates the diversity of communication problems facing those working within project-based environments. Practical guidance is provided on possible solutions to communication problems, and a number of examples and case studies are presented."--Jacket.
