Nuts about Change: Multiple Perspectives on Change-Oriented Communication in a Public Sector Organization.

Zorn, Theodore E.; Page, Deborah J.; Cheney, George

Management Communication Quarterly, v13 n4 p515-66 May 2000

Examines change-related communication in the business services department of a large local-government organization in New Zealand, exploring it from three perspectives: functional, romantic, and critical. Outlines the logic, metaphors, and standards for evaluation of each perspective, and notes how they highlight different change-related communication practices and/or alternative dimensions of the same practice.
