Historically, organizational communication has been promoted mainly by quantitative research methods. Functional organization communication research includes statistical analysis (survey, text indexing, network mapping, behavior modeling, etc.). In the early 1980s, the interpretation of the revolution was done in organizational communication. Textual composition and interpretation method of texts of Putnam and Pakanowski in 1983 They developed a methodological space for qualitative methods such as story analysis, participation in observation, interview, rhetoric and grammar, and philosophical exploration We are proposing.

This course introduces critical thinking, intelligence analysis, and how to use structured methods. Confirm perception, memory, information evaluation, etc. related functions related to information processing. Conscious and unconscious cognitive biases and strategies to mitigate those effects were also evaluated. Prerequisites: SSGS 300 This course is based on a critical analysis of the professor of INTL 401 and extends student analysis skills. Students will explore creative analytical techniques such as generating hypotheses, collaborating teams, and collaborating by confrontation. Students focus on smart as a decision-maker's service, including customer-centered writing principles and analysis problem techniques designed to provide tactical, operational or strategic support. Prerequisite: SSGS 300

Structured Analysis and Design Technology (SADT) is a system engineering and software engineering method used to describe a system as a functional hierarchy. SADT is a structured analysis modeling language that uses two kinds of charts, an active model and a data model. It was developed by Douglas T. Ross in the late 1960's and officially released as IDEF 0 in 1981. Structured analytical design technology (SADT) is a graphical symbol designed to help people write and understand systems. It provides components to represent entities and activities, and various arrows to associate boxes. These boxes and arrows have an informal meaning associated with them. SADT can be used as a function analysis tool for specific processes using continuous level of detail.
