An organizational communication expert delivered this year’s Lambda Pi Eta Communication Lecture on April 11.
Stan Deetz, professor of communication and director of Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Colorado-Boulder discussed, “A Creative and Sustainable Approach to Decision Making.”
Deetz specializes in the study of organizational communication from a critical, cultural, and philosophic perspective. His teaching, research, and applied activities consider both internal organizational practices and their consequences for society.
His current research focuses on relations of power in work sites and the way these relations are produced and reproduced in everyday interaction. His work impacts on corporate social responsibility by exploring ways that values held by the larger society can be incorporated into everyday organizational decision-making processes.
