You will analyze the organizational communication you’ve observed in a mini-case study by defining and describing examples of key concepts and theories. You should focus on one or two critical issues (or chapters) identified in your research question. For example, if you are analyzing Pixar’s organizational culture as represented in documentaries, you might apply concepts primarily from Chapter 4 & 5. You might ask, “What artifacts, rituals, stories, and values are evident in Pixar’s organizational culture?” In this example, “organizational culture” is the communication phenomenon in question (specifically artifacts, rituals, stories & values), and Pixar is the organizational context. You should provide enough detail and background information that someone unfamiliar with the organization or film will be able to understand the examples.
