Master of Science in Communication Management: Leadership & Communication

(Excerpt)

All of us come to a problem, opportunity, or decision with a set of assumptions based on our backgrounds and experiences. For example, someone who has spent years in a finance function - concentrating on managing cash flow, raising capital, and budgeting - will have a particular point of view that is different from someone like you, whose experience has been in Corporate Communication - focusing on Media Relations, Employee Communications, Investor Relations, etc. Two implications arise from this: (1) Each person will have only a "limited" view of the whole situation, and may be driven to define a problem as a "finance" or "marketing" problem because this is what his/her experience tells them, and (2) Each person may be correct, but only partially.
