A strategy for communicating about uncertainty
探讨高管在组织不确定性时期可用的沟通策略,如何选择以及哪些能提升组织效能,并通过案例展示系统制定沟通策略的好处。
Executive Overview Executives can communicate about anything, but they cannot communicate about everything. Consequently, either explicitly or implicitly, they make communicative choices, which, in turn, become the organization's communication strategy. These choices are all the more important in times of great organizational uncertainty wrought by increased global competition, quicker cycle times, and the ever-changing marketplace. What are the communication strategies available to executives? How should they be made? Which ones increase organizational effectiveness? These are the core questions discussed in this article. We conclude with a case study demonstrating the benefits of systematically developing a communication strategy to address organizational uncertainty.
