Description:

Concise but thorough, this popular business communicationnbsp;text is packed with practical advice to help students improve their writing and speaking skills. nbsp; Shorter than most other business communications texts,Writing & Speaking at Work, 4e draws from the authorrsquo;s years of experience as a college instructor and consultant in business and government.

Instead of detailing the various communications theories, it focuses on the two critical communication needs of business people: writing and speaking.
