Alternatives Considered But Not Disclosed: The Ambiguous Role of PowerPoint in Cross-Project Learning

Powerfully driven by the work of consulting firms, the presentation softwear Microsoft PowerPoint is increasingly used on all levels of business and educational communication. Nevertheless, slidewear ranks amoung the least explored media in communication studies. This study investigates the role of PowerPoint in organizational communication, particularly in terms of a functional dilemma between its application for documentation as opposed to presentation purposes. This book is a valuable reference for academics in the social sciences, especially media and communication studies, as well as practitioners in corporate communication and knowledge management.
