Review Quotes:
"It is a major contribution to our discipline's body of knowledge, perhaps the most significant, original theoretical development in organizational communication in 25 years.
"Given the intense international competition now faced by virtually all manufacturing companies in an increasingly volatile global economic environment, the economic health, if not the survival of organizations and their parent countries becomes a major concern. Cushman and King's work highlights this global struggle and the communication strategies essential to effectively compete in a turbulent international marketplace.
"Based on a decade of research and thinking, this work is the culmination and assimilation of Cushman and King's best writing. It brings together in one volume an excellent, in-depth summary of the theory and research related to high-speed management, written in a scholarly, yet comprehensible, fashion, and relates high-speed management to the other major management communication concepts which will be affected by current and emerging global factors." -- Richard J. Dieker, Western Michigan University
