This textbook is suitable for the following courses: Business Communication, Business English, Business Presentation, and Professional Communication.

Business Communication for Success provides a comprehensive, integrated approach to the study and application of written and oral business communication. Following initial chapters that describe the subject's foundations, the second sequence of chapters focuses on the process of writing, then oral performance with an emphasis on results. The final set of chapters explores contexts from interpersonal to intercultural, groups to leadership, and intercultural to international—and the many situations in which business communication most often occurs. The result is a fully modern discussion that is based on real-world examples to prepare students for a rapidly evolving world of business communication.

New in This Version
