Lab Talk #3 - "Communicative Capitalism" with Prof. Tim Kuhn
Welcome to The CommUnity Lab — the knowledge transfer podcast where we dive deep into the fascinating world of professional communication research and its application! Hosted by Danny (Daniel Wolfgruber), this series brings together leading scholars to explore how communication shapes workplaces, relationships, and society at large.
In each episode, we break down communication research and real-world insights, making them accessible and relevant for communication professionals, leaders, fellow scholars and students, and anyone curious about the magic of communication.
In this Lab Talk, I sit down with Prof. Tim Kuhn from the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA. We talk about his research on corporate purpose and communicative capitalism and also discuss how purpose is communicatively constituted and why it is always multiple – for good or for bad.
