As its name, CONTEMPORARY BUSINESS COMMUNICATION, suggests this book is also concerned with the challenges of modern communication. Its has the most integrated and complete coverage of today's important issues like communication technology, multi- culturalism, global communication, organizational culture, teamwork, and ethics.
