    This paper uses novel, firm-level measures derived from communications metadata before and after a CEO transition in 102 firms to study if CEO turnover impacts employees' communication flows. We find that CEO turnover leads to an initial decrease in intra-firm communication, followed by a significant increase approximately five months after the CEO change. The increase is driven primarily by vertical (i.e. manager to employee) communication. Greater increases in communication after CEO change are associated with greater increases in firm market returns

    Alongside the transformation of work environments during the COVID-19 pandemic, internal communication underwent a decisive switch towards more virtuality. Although a change was long overdue, its speed created a multitude of challenges through the reduced personal contact. Therefore, a research team at the University of Vienna has addressed the following questions: What are the challenges for internal communication in an increasingly virtual work environment? How to achieve the goals of internal communication virtually? What are the dangers of an increasingly virtual work environment? How can internal communication support to avoid them? Durch die Virtualisierung und die Covid-19-Pandemie wird auch die interne Kommunikationsarbeit zunehmend digitaler. Neben den Vorteilen, die die virtuelle Zusammenarbeit mit sich bringt, zeigen sich auch einige Herausforderungen. So lassen sich mit weniger persönlichem Kontakt zum Beispiel Mitarbeitende schwieriger einbinden und motivieren. Ein Forschungsteam der Universität Wien hat sich deswegen mit folgenden Fragen beschäftigt: Welchen Herausforderungen begegnen interne Kommunikationsexpertinnen und Kommunikationsexperten in einer zunehmend virtuellen Arbeitswelt? Wie können die Ziele der internen Kommunikation in einem virtuellen Kontext erreicht werden? Was sind mögliche negative Auswirkungen in einer zunehmend virtuellen Arbeitswelt? Was kann getan werden, um negative Effekte zu vermeiden?

    Corporate stakeholders from the general public to politicians increasingly expect corporations to reflect the diversity that exists in society within their workforce. The increasing recognition and influence of movements such as Black Lives Matter and ChooseToChallenge has reinforced public awareness and emphasized the need to manage diversity and inclusion (D&I) within organizations. A research team from the University of Vienna explored success factors and the role of communication in establishing and promoting diversity and inclusion within organizations based on the following questions: Why should companies invest in diversity and inclusion? How can companies establish effective D&I management? How can communications promote an inclusive corporate culture? Immer mehr Anspruchsgruppen von Organisationen - von Mitarbeitenden über Kunden und Kundinnen bis hin zu Politikern - erwarten, dass Unternehmen die Vielfalt der Gesellschaft in ihrer Belegschaft widerspiegeln. Die zunehmende Anerkennung und der Einfluss von Bewegungen wie Black Lives Matter und ChooseToChallenge haben das öffentliche Bewusstsein gestärkt und die Notwendigkeit des Managements von Vielfalt und Inklusion (D&I) innerhalb von Organisationen betont. Ein Forschungsteam der Universität Wien hat Erfolgsfaktoren und die Rolle der Kommunikation bei der Etablierung und Förderung von Diversität und Inklusion in Unternehmen anhand von folgenden Fragen untersucht: Warum sollten Unternehmen in Diversität und Inklusion investieren? Wie können Unternehmen ein effektives D&I-Management aufbauen? Wie kann Kommunikation eine inklusive Unternehmenskultur fördern?

    A distinct feature of MNCs is a three-tier organizational structure: foreign managers (FMs) supervise domestic managers (DMs) who supervise production workers. Language barriers between FMs and DMs could impede transfers of management knowledge. We develop a model in which DMs learn general management by communicating with FMs, but communication effort is non-contractible. These conditions generate sub-optimal communication within the MNC. If communication is complementary with language skills, the planner could raise welfare by subsidizing foreign language acquisition. We experimentally assess the validity of the general skills and the complementarity assumptions in Myanmar, a setting where FMs and DMs communicate in English. The first experiment examines the general skills assumption by asking prospective employers at domestic firms to rate hypothetical job candidates. They value candidates with both higher English proficiency and MNC experience, a premium driven, in part, by frequent interactions with FMs. The second experiment examines the complementarity assumption by providing English training to a random sample of DMs working at MNCs. At endline, treated DMs have higher English proficiency, communicate more frequently with their FMs, are more involved in firm management, and perform better in simulated management tasks. Organizational barriers within MNCs can thus hinder knowledge transfers and lead to an under-investment in English relative to the social optimum
