Organizational behavior: horizontal or vertical communication
Not what you're looking for?
In addition to the readings, use at least two resources to do research on
the subject of horizontal or vertical communication. Pick the subject
that interests you most. Determine a single application of the subject.
Write a thesis statement (an argument) that you will research.
For example, your thesis statement might be, "Managers communicate
downward to subordinates more frequently than they communicate
upward to superiors." The results of your research will either support or
reject your thesis. Produce a title based on your research results.
If you found two reliable Internet articles that stated that managers tend to
communicate upward more often than they communicate downward in
a particular organization, your thesis would be rejected and your title
could read, "Managers at XYZ Company communicate upward with
greater frequency than downward."
Write one paragraph containing your thesis statement, one paragraph
containing a summary of your findings (cite your sources), and a one
paragraph conclusion. List your references at the end.
