as "first, to provide the system of communication ... " (7). More
recently, Drucker posited communication as one of the five basic
management operations, stating that communication in management
has become a central concern to students and practitioners in all
institutions. A good indication of the importance given to communication
by management scholars is that every management textbook
has a chapter dedicated to the topic. In addition, over 90% of organizations
with 50 or more employees provide communication training
(Lee).
