The relationship between communication and organizational change has attracted
increased attention from scholars and practitioners during the last decade. Repeatedly,
scholars have stated that communication and change is a subject field that is very
important to develop ( Jones et al., 2004; Taylor et al., 2001). In spite of this,
communication research in this field has rarely been subject to reviews and efforts in
finding theoretical paradigms guiding the research (Lewis and Seibold, 1998). This
paper aims to fill this gap by presenting a review and critique of existing
communication approaches in studies on organizational change.
