Nonsense of work - communication of the meaning of work in the organization 3500-PROBAD-BEZPR
Corporate identity can be treated as an ideology that justifies power relations and motivates employees to work. It can be seen as a leeway to boost identity formation of the organization’s members. It can be also seen as a specific communicative culture that can be research and shaped. This course will develop a broadened understanding of the corporate identity and its relation to the corporate culture on one hand, and to the storytelling on the other. It will have the “real life” environment in which students will cooperate to bring their diagnoses and view to the final presentation in front of thr organization under research
