Communicating at Work: Principles and Practices for Business and the Professions

The leading text in business communication, "Communicating at Work" takes a pragmatic approach that features a strong multicultural focus, a heavy emphasis on effective presentations, and a pedagogical program that is designed to encourage group activities and skill building. That, plus clear writing and effective use of tables, make the text an excellent teaching tool.
