The evolution of managerial communication from three differentiated disciplines is presented in this article. The traditional approaches to the three disciplines are first presented, and the impact that the information society is having on communication is explored. Then the evolution of a new discipline is analyzed from a structure, function, and system viewpoint. Obstacles to the development of a managerial communication course—student backgrounds, academic respectability, and faculty preparation—are also presented.
