In this section of the chapter we begin to actually learn of some actually organizational communication theories that began during the industrial revolution. The classical theory of management seems to be very old fashioned because it is based off of military mechanics. Meaning that the system is highly structured, concerned with rankings among the employees. This is what we know as a Top down management. The problem that I find with this theory of organizational management is that communication is basically one sided. The director communicates to the president who in turn directs the managers and so forth. This linear way of communication does not allow questioning or feed back from employees. As we learned in previous chapter, when an employees voice is not heard, it was cause great problems in the organization.
