...SUBJECT: Effective Business Communication As undergraduate students, we strive to acquire the knowledge and abilities that will allow us to function successfully in the world of business. In all our efforts to prepare for employment, we often overlook the importance of knowing how to communicate effectively in a business setting. We learned from Long Pham and Isidore Okoro that employers look for good communication skills beginning with the hiring process. For any prospective businessperson, it is imperative to understand the role of verbal and written communication and how it should be conducted effectively. This memo is an effort to share and inform you of some of the most important features of business communication. Choosing a Medium When choosing what medium to use for a message, Isidore and Long suggest that it depends on the culture within the firm. E-mail is accepted for most information. The article by Inc.com “How To: Communicate with Employees”, states that as a general rule, anything that requires development of an interpersonal relationship with an employee requires face-to-face communication. Urgent matters are best handled in person as well. Because words on a screen lack context, tone, and nonverbal cues, Long Pham emphasized: when in doubt, speak in person. Verbal Communication Verbal communication is vital to the success of any company. Having good verbal communication within the workplace can help build good relationships among coworkers and employees...

...knowingly experienced effective communication in a business setting was with my mother. My mother owns a cleaning company and has a large client base. This client base is constantly expanding so there is constantly some type of communication developing. One incident in particular happened between my mother and a new client. The new client had certain demands that my mother could not give exact prices for. After several conversations via text messaging and phone calls a decision had to be made. The decision resulted in complete fairness for the company and client satisfaction. In order to complete this daunting task effective communication skills had to be used throughout the entire encounter. As my mother and I stepped into the potential clients home we quickly learned what areas needed the most work. Also, that we would be cleaning the entire house from remodeling construction. By meeting the homeowner in the home we were able to better understand what the homeowners needs were. By their strong body language we could tell the client knew exactly what they wanted, as they were very detailed while explaining their cleaning needs. At the end of the meeting we were able to carefully come up with a client plan that would satisfy the customer’s needs and wants. This plan was simple and concise, it only explained the most significant information. We were then able to give the client an estimated price based on their personal client plan.

...Effective communication is essential to the success of any business organization. Since the world is becoming a global village it is of utmost importance to effectively communicate within and outside of an organization. However, due to large organizational sizes and tall organizational structures it becomes difficult to get any message across. This creates boundaries in the organization, internally in terms of various departments and externally in terms of customers. To overcome this dilemma, in the video Messages that Stick', Professor Chip Heath emphasizes on the importance of making the point stick rather than just getting the message across and explains how to go about it. Professor Heath commences his lecture with focus on urban legends, that is, myths and stories. Urban legends have been stuck in peoples' minds and have persisted over decades, spanning over cultural boundaries. For instance, the story of the dead girl who appears on a dark eerie roadside is known almost world over, yet in different situations. In the American version, the man who finds the girl is in a car. In the European version, the car is replaced by a carriage. Whereas in the Chinese version, the mode of transport is believed to be a horse. The professor explains that urban legends succeed even though they lack many advantages that organizational messages have. They do not have support from top management. They do not have advertising budgets, or public relation assistants. They often arouse...

...MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE, GURGAON Effective Business Communication through Theatre Technique Core Faculty: Ashok Kapoor Course Outline Introduction Theatre is not merely a metaphor for workplace: it already exists in daily life, and workplace is just its extension. Individually and collectively, within and without, people are in a dynamic and dramatic relationship that is now planned or rehearsed and now improvised. The Corporate is engaged in an ongoing drama that is being played on the larger stage of society. In their book, ‘Dramatic Success’, (Nicholas Brealey Publishing, 2004), authors Andrew Leigh and Michael Maynard reiterate that Corporate is Theatre. They have looked at ‘Self’, ‘Team’ and ‘Organisation’ as the three acts of a play. The dramatic scenario in Self consists of ‘Connection’, ‘Talent’ and ‘Power’; in Team of ‘Alignment’, ‘Creativity’ and ‘Exploration’; and in Organisation as ‘Insight’, ‘Inspiration’ and ‘Initiative’. The key to being an effective player in corporate processes is to learn to observe, sense and listen to the unfolding drama at workplace. Theatre techniques prepare you to see yourself objectively in a dynamic situation, and thereby help you to realise responsibility and strategise communication. They aim to help the student transform and become an inspired performer, an effective team player and a leader. The theoretical model of the Communication Process – comprising ‘coding’, ‘decoding’, ‘feedback’, etc.- is...
