Katherine has put together an excellent org com textbook: well-written, concise and very well organized. From Time-Motion Studies to Maslow to Theory Y, Ms. Miller gets down to the point, uses tremendous examples and gives excellent bibloigraphic information for further study.

I took Org. Com. as the first communication class I ever had, and although it was a 400-level course, Kathy's book helped make it not only a pleasure and a joy, but the defining class in my determination to pursue an MA in Communication in the Fall of 2002.

This textbook has informative historical aspects of organizational communication. Business majors would benefit from this textbook for citing useful material for papers. Case analysis are peppered throughout the book for easy application and comprehension. Recommended read for business students

the book arrived in less than 24hrs and cam in great condition. awesome buy! i'm glad i got amazon prime.

Got it for college and didn't really read it too much but it is about as interesting as any other textbook I suppose.

This book could do with some revising. The important terms are not bold, but italic. Headings only loosely describe what you are learning. There are no "key terms" type boxes, or review questions at the end except for some touchy-feely discussion questions.

If your professor is using the test bank for the book, be forewarned that you will have to dig for the key concepts in each chapter.

Earth to Katherine Miller, no one in their right mind is going to read your book cover-to-cover because they want to. Any study skills class will enlighten you to how students actually cover textbook material.

This book lists theory after theory after theory, with hardly any examples in the text to explain, or at least break up the monotony. If you can avoid getting this book, you will be a happier and more knowledgeable person (since you can probably find something else that explains things better).

Received the book in good time, however, it was not the edition I was under the impression I was supposed to receive. I have contacted the seller several times, but have not gotten a response with my latest e-mail. I am very frustrated and am considering filing a claim with Amazon regarding this seller.
