Management Communication: Linking Theory and Practice

Introduction to the analytical and practical skills that foster sound communication in business environments. Particular attention will be paid to the nature of organizations and the ways in which they affect communication conducted within them and on their behalf. Students will produce written and oral assignments linking the theoretical principles to practical applications drawn from business case studies. Pending availability of technology and/or funding, students will also explore the communication potential of electronic technologies, such as linear video, interactive video, multimedia, and teleconferencing.
