Abstract

The notion of “communication as constitutive of organization” (CCO) is at the center of a growing theoretical development within organizational communication studies. CCO scholarship is based on the idea that organization emerges in and is sustained and transformed by communication. This entry presents CCO scholarship with regards to its underlying premises, main schools of thought, and key implications for strategic communication.
