Organization Communication Audit: A Case Study

James E. Baxter ; Linda T. Peters Hudson Valley Community College

Abstract

Communication systems serving the needs of modern organizations are complex. In a bureaucratic, hierarchically structured organization, the typical communication system will be a closed one. In a democratic, egalitarian organization, the communication system will tend to be an open one.
