Komunikácia je významnou a neoddeliteľnou súčasťou ľudského bytia. Dôležitú rolu zohráva aj v jednotlivých organizáciách výrobného a nevýrobného charakteru. Bez komunikácie by nebolo možné tieto organizácie riadiť a dosahovať stanovené ciele. Cieľom skrípt bolo spracovať problematiku komunikácie a aplikovať ju na organizácie verejnej správy. Skriptá začínajú rozpracovaním problematiky informácií, ktoré sú nevyhnutnou súčasťou každého komunikačného procesu. Obsah ďalších kapitol je zameraný na ciele a úlohy komunikácie v organizácii, na jednotlivé druhy komunikácie, na bariéry, ktoré sa môžu v komunikácii vyskytovať. Sú tu naznačené stratégie na zlepšenie komunikačnej účinnosti v organizácii a opísané špecifické komunikačné stratégie, ktoré sa v jednotlivých organizáciách pravidelne vyskytujú. Dôraz je kladený aj na komunikačné zručnosti manažérov, bez ktorých by nedokázali organizáciu efektívne riadiť a viesť svojich podriadených k dosahovaniu cieľov organizácie. Na efektívnosť komunikácie vplýva aj atmosféra, v ktorej komunikácia prebieha a získavanie potrebných informácií pomocou rôznych manažérskych informačných systémov, preto posledná časť skrípt je venovaná tejto problematike. Skriptá obsahujú 13 kapitol. Každá kapitola začína uvedením do problematiky a končí celkových zhrnutím obsahu kapitoly. Za každou kapitolou sa nachádzajú praktické cvičenia, ktoré môžu pomôcť študentom upevniť si obsah učiva a lepšie pochopiť jeho podstatu.
