Management Approach, Organisational Framework and Ineffective Communication Process in The Devil Wears Prada

  • Unique Paper ID: 192929
  • PageNo: 2778-2783
  • Abstract:
  • This research paper examines the management approach, organizational framework and ineffective and hierarchical communication practice in Lauren Weisberger’s The Devil Wears Prada through the theoretical lenses of Human Relations Theory and Media Richness Theory. The novel provides a critical representation of authoritarian leadership, workplace competition, and the psychological costs of high-pressure corporate environments. By analysing key interactions between Miranda Priestly and her subordinates, this study explores how authoritarian management approach affects employee well-being, performance, and organizational culture. The paper argues that authoritarian leadership styles institutionalize ineffective communication practices that generate workplace stress, ambiguity, and psychological strain.
