High-Speed Management and Organizational Communication in the 1990s provides a unique, systematic, and practical treatment of the role communication plays in the new organizations. It treats organizational integration, coordination, and control as central communication processes and explores their transformation of traditional organizational topics such as leadership, corporate culture, teamwork, and continuous improvement programs.

The central thesis of this analysis is that increasing the speed with which products get to market helps to make an organization more productive, develop better quality products, become more responsive to customer needs, and generate more profits for investors. Why and how this takes place as well as the central role communication plays in the process is treated here in detail.

Sarah Sanderson King is Professor and Chair of the Department of Communication at Central Connecticut State University. She is the author of Human Communication as a Field of Study: Selected Contemporary Views, and co-author with Donald Cushman of Political Communication: Engineering Visions of Order in the Socialist World, both published by SUNY Press. Donald P. Cushman is Professor of Communication at the State University of New York at Albany. He is the author of Communication in Interpersonal Relationships (with L. Cahn), published by SUNY Press, and Message-Attitude-Behavior Relationships (with R. McPhee). He has served as a consultant for governments and private corporations in Australia, Bolivia, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, Korea, Mexico, and Yugoslavia.
