This book is an ambitious research work that incorporates recent findings on communication and knowledge in organizations and includes contributions from global researchers. It brings together researchers from various countries who are active in this field and describes research on communication and knowledge that considers the development of ICT under the positivist paradigm (Part I) as well as research on communication and knowledge that focuses on language under the interpretivist paradigm (Part II). By approaching research on communication and knowledge in organizations using these two paradigms, this book presents a clear and energetic overview of the characteristics of both.
