Communication Professionals and Organisational Decision-Making : A Finnish Study of Practitioner Roles
Abstract
Traditionally, the debate on communication value and the contribution
of communication professionals to organisational decision-making has
been linked to diverging roles (managers, technicians). This chapter
introduces an alternative view, based on an exploratory, qualitative study
of communication professionals in Finland. It focuses on the diverse ways
in which these professionals contribute to organisational decisionmaking.
The results show a rich, constantly developing picture of
communication practices, which challenges the traditional dichotomy of
manager and technician roles.
