Processes, focuses on primal processes, such as leadership, organizational entry, conflict, power, and inclusion. Section Three,
Contexts, focuses on the settings where organizational communication occurs, including teams and workgroups, networks, and organizational structure. Section Four,
Technology, considers the development and introduction of new media and intelligent technologies into organizations. The final section,
Emerging Areas, addresses communication issues associated with changing environmental, social, and political upheavals, including wellness, corporate social responsibility, and crisis response. The Handbook of
