The first edition of this book (2016) broke new ground by identifying
organizational listening as a major gap in public communication
studies and practice. This entirely new edition substantially expands
the concept, theory, and practice. Organizational Listening II reports
the research findings of the author’s Organizational Listening
Project undertaken since the first edition, as well as findings from a
number of other researchers who have entered this emerging field. In
addition to confirming that organizations central to contemporary
society continue to listen poorly, and sometimes not at all, this new
edition makes a significant contribution to a growing body of theory
on organizational listening and outlines more than 30 ways that
organizations can implement listening in practice, resulting in major
benefits for themselves, their stakeholders, and society. Macnamara
brings a unique combination of academic research and professional
experience to explain why organizational listening needs to go beyond
interpersonal listening and identifies the necessary culture,
policies, systems, resources, and skills for organizational listening
as well as the role of new technologies. The Organizational Listening
Project, a multi-stage research study led by the author over the past
10 years, has been described as "a research program of major
international significance".* This book is essential reading for
teachers, researchers, and practitioners in government, corporate,
marketing, and organizational communication and related fields such as
public relations, customer relations, and stakeholder engagement.
