Assignment title: Management
Classical management theory conceptualises communication as a downward, one- way transfer of information from management to staff. In your view and engaging with relevant academic literature to substantiate your argument, what makes for good leadership communication in organisations? 2. Brett et al. (2006, p. 2) argue that "multi-cultural teams often generate frustrating management dilemmas." How should leaders go about managing a team with cultural differences? In developing your argument, critically discuss 1 example drawing from your own intercultural experience and relate it to relevant academic research. 3. Poor inter-departmental communication constitutes a significant problem for the effectiveness of an organisation (Schuetz & Bloch 2006; Tourish & Hargie 2004). From a management perspective, what can be done to improve knowledge sharing and learning across intra-organisational boundaries? Engage with relevant academic literature in building your argument.
