ABSTRACT

Humood Aljleeby, a indutrial engineering undergraduate student at Oregon State University, in his text ‘’using corporate lore to create boundaries in the workplace’’ (1/17/20) after reading the study that was conducted my Sam J. Racine he argues that most work places and managers sometimes manipulate employees into doing things more that what they signed in for.using this information industrial engineers would benefit from it by knowing how to merge

different departments in order to keep the work flow going smoothly and well communicated.

in this article review we will analyse how Sam made a the effort to conduct his study in this article.

key words : employers, workplace,manipulate, communication, industrial engineering.

INTRODUCTION

there are many challenges to communication, especially when its between people from two different departments, Sam Racine was a communication specialist who worked in many manufacturing fumes so he had to conduct studies on how firms tried to work on engaging departments by hosting corporate events which he thinks as not very effective in terms of sinking multiple departments together because every departments think differently. he started going deeper in and studying different cultures and how important to understand why different people would push others out of the group to make them self more comfortable.

SUMMARY

Sam J. Racine’s article,’’using corporate lore to create bounders in the workspace’’ published in the journal of technical writing and communication,Vol. 29(2) 167-183, 1999 is about exploring ways on how corporate can make sure to project what they expect from the people they hire and on ways in which they can help different departments get in sync with each other to be able to achieve there highest potential at work and to avoid mistakes at work.

ANALYSIS

although Sam’s story telling wasn't as usual, if delivered the message so clearly, having it be a research, sam wen with the approach that most writers wouldn't tipsily use which is going out of his way and documenting others stories and establishing credibility.

He used story telling as a way to really relate to the reader and to establish credibility, its one of the most effective ways to open up and share and in that way the audience are the people who will choose either to trust him or not. but by providing them with some of the story tellers background to establish a reason for the reader to actually trust and invest time in reading and trying to understand his/her point of view.

story telling and receiving is two completely different things, by story telling you mostly tell it in your point of view and perspective, you can only say what you feel and describe how you felt at that time. receiving it is how you felt and was able to rate to it and implement it o your life, how well you where engaged is another aspect in which you could understand fully by listening and blocking all the distractions, that way you can absorb it in the way that the speaker wants you to under stand it without interpreting it in your own way.

culture is a very complex word, on a way it shapes us and its a sense of combines in a group, makes us relate to each other and we tend to believe in all the same things because we all have the same frame of reference.which in that way in factories each department acts like hey are a part of a community and sometimes as a tribe, especially in big corporate companies when employees have a harder time to get to know each other .

language

his language was formal enough to be considered as a report but still very warm in a way that he can touch the audience and serve his message.

Organisation

he organised his report in a way that didn't make the person who is reading it get bored, it actually made them want to keep reading and hungry for what ever he had to say, by dividing it into small paragraphs and different tones of voice the reader would be able to keep/absorbe the information in a way that he can use it ones they graduate.

Applicability

the father you understand how human beings work the faster you can get to them, being an industrial engineer requires you to put out a lot of new rules and you have to also make sure that whatever you insured your workers to work on is and will always be the right thing.

being able to enforce new harsh standards to improve your quality in the factory isn't an easy thing, you have to be able to satisfy your workers to be able to get the best out of them, working on getting them comfortable talking to each other is primarily a big part of your job title.

CONCLUSION

people tend to stick and form in communities thats a way for them to relate to one another and form some sort of bond, it only requires a few common rates or interest. companies should build a system in a way where defrent departments can get a lot and relate together as one big team so that way communication can be a natural thing that they have established and can produce the best they can offer. and by doing that they can also make sure they are transparent with them so they can actually understand what they have to present at the end of the day and make sure that both the hire ups are vocal and give them detailed instructions from day one in order for the future employee to understand what they are signing up for .
