>The 2008-2010 crisis, the continuous uncertainty and instability of the scenario obliges businesses to:
• constantly reinvent themselves to look for competitive advantage.
• invest attention in order to maintain and increase “trust” from their own people
Which are the challenges for organizational communication?
Page 20
>Globalization and 2.0 web development leads to a change in orientation of communication: • from “control” of messages,
channels and times• to “intelligence” on internal
stakeholders, their needs and valuable judgement, taking in consideration culture, country and their dominant values.

Why a Sitcom?
The reason why situation comedies
are “the real epic”
of our time
> We identify in the characters that animate the
episodes (or identify our acquaintances…)
> We use their behavior models as an example
to examine ours and others
> We re-read our reality through the filter of their
adventures in order to discover new meanings
Page 35
The ‘contagious’ logic of the Sitcom
> The episodes of the Sitcom are planned as an effective innovative tool, with great emotional and engaging impact, to be used by business managers as culture creators.
> Managers organize internal meetings with their co-workers to watch the episodes together
> After the screening, managers lead the discussion
