Communication Skills for Business Professionals, second edition, is a
student-friendly introduction to effective communication in the
workplace. Engagingly written, the text covers foundational topics such
as audience, influence, channels, conflict and persuasion, before
investigating more complex areas such as intercultural communication,
virtual communication, researching in the era of 'fake news' and
strategies for successful written communication. Taking a broad and
current approach to concepts of communication and workplaces,
Communication Skills for Business Professionals explores situations from
virtual meetings between indie creatives, to speeches given by
politicians, while still covering more traditional forms of professional
communication, such as pitching to boards and memos. New pedagogical
features such as skill builder class activities, margin definitions and
links to online content make this book indispensable for teachers and
students of communications alike.
