COMMUNICATION RESEARCH, INC. - An Experiential Learning Activity Developed as a Practicum for a Course in Organizational Communication

Abstract

This paper describes an experiential learning activity that was designed to provide a practicum for students enrolled in a course in organizational communication. The simulation involved setting up a corporate structure in which students were placed after having submitted employment applications and resumes. The corporation was given a research task which was to be completed by the end of the semester. This simulation can easily be adapted to other business courses such as those in management, personnel, public relations and so forth.
