>SPECIAL ISSUE ON COMMUNICATING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE
>
>
>
>
>
>Recently change communication was given a 
>prominent place on the Organizational 
>Communication agenda. In a special issue on the 
>state of art in communication theory and 
>research, Jones and colleagues (2004) state that 
>understanding change communication is one of the 
>six challenges for OC in the new century. They 
>plea for research on communication during the 
>implementation of organizational change because 
>this offers the chance for organizations to 
>manage the change process better (Jones, 
>Watson, Gardner, & Gallois, 2004; 737). Detailed 
>insight in various forms of communication during 
>change processes, and communicative behavior of 
>management, or change agents is required. The 
>prevailing idea that change communication equals 
>top down communication, or management 
>communication needs to be reconsidered. 
>Organizational Development theory can be helpful 
>in this because of its focus on creating 
>opportunities for dialogue and interaction in a 
>context of organizational change (Cummings, 
>2004), although there is relatively little 
>attention to communication, it is within OD 
>theory part of the vocabulary, but usually is used as a general term.

>CCIJ wants to have a special issue on change 
>communication, and try to get an overview of the 
>recent insights on this. What research is been 
>done about the role of information and/or 
>communication processes in the failure or 
>success of organizational change? Papers could 
>be conceptual, empirical, based on case studies, 
>or (for instance) the way newspapers publish about organizational change.

>After almost two decades of research and debate, 
>integrated communi­ca­tions continues to be a 
>topic of great interest and relevance to 
>scholars and practi­tioners of marketing, public 
>relations and communication. Indeed, usage 
>sta­tis­tics demonstrate that among the most 
>downloaded papers from the CCIJ website, several 
>deal with integrated communications. As the 
>field is maturing and expanding to still more 
>dimensions of the organisation and the market, 
>other disciplines like management, HRM and 
>consumption theory are beginning to show an 
>interest in the notion of integrated 
>communications and its implica­tions for their 
>specific spheres of activity. While such 
>development may change or dilute the meaning of 
>integrated communications, it is simultaneously 
>such expansion that allows us to explore more 
>fully the strengths and weaknesses of the 
>con­cept and its underlying assumptions. For 
>this special issue, we invite theore­ti­cal and 
>empirical papers that approach, discuss and/or 
>critique inte­grated com­munications as a 
>communications tool, a theoretical concept, a 
>prac­titioner dis­course, a system of media 
>planning, or as coordinated practices and 
>beha­viours. Relevant subtopics include, but are 
>not restricted to, the following:
>
>
>
>-          The (expanding) meaning and practice of integrated communications
>
>-          The customer-orientation of integrated communications
>
>-          The organisation of integrated communications
>
>-          The reception of integrated 
>communications (internally and externally)
>
>-          New perspectives on integrated communications
>
