...PART A: Interoffice Memorandum Phoenix Advertising - Interoffice Memorandum DATE: July 24, 2014 TO: Executive Team FROM: _________________, Vice President of HRM SUBJECT: Roanoke, VA Branch – Update In recent weeks, I have received few complaints from few of our top clients in the Virginia region. The quality of work that comes from Roanoke, Virginia branch is affecting the Phoenix branch in a very negative way. For some reason, in the past three months, we have lost the key personnel which that have had been with the company for more than five years. This is why the work quality sharply declined and what followed next - the complaints from the clients. What is scaring me even more is that three of our top graphic designers and four of the copywriters are threatening to leave if we do not improve the way we handle new accounts without evaluating the current workload. We must address this issue as it is costing our company’s valued staff and profits. Robert Wright – Please contact the President of Word Company to find out what the problem is and how we can fix it. Susan Smith – Please call a meeting your graphic design team to find out why the quality of work is declining.

...In language itself the spoken language is primary language and the written language is secondary language. There are thousands of languages in the world. Many of them are spoken and written. Some of them are only spoken but not written. But there is no language that is only written but not spoken. Oral communication is constantly and continually employed by an individual in the familial and social environments. Oral communication has also its vital role in business situations. Oral communication in business has a variety of purposes. The communication of information is one purpose of oral communication, and may include informing employees of company-related issues, training new hires, speaking to the general public and maintaining business to business relationships. Persuasion through marketing and advertising is another purpose of oral communication in business. It is used to show a group of people a need and provide a solution to that need. The following are some of the situations in which oral communication is employed. Example 1: Presentations One form of oral communication in a business setting is a presentation. Presentations are usually an organized conveyance of information to a group of people. Stylistically, they tend to be far more formal than informal, and rely more heavily on data and facts than they do analysis. Presentations may include some dialog after the sender of the message has finished their speech, but they are, by and large, much more monologue...

After speaking with Miss Hilo, although not confirmed until her medical leave has concluded, I am under the impression she will not be returning to her position. With that in mind, as well as time constraints, I believe it is necessary to begin the process of seeking her replacement. In order for Executives Mr. Frank Daley and Mr. R.

... www.Protis.com INTEROFFICE COMMUNICATION TO: S. Palubra, Head of IT Department FROM: J. Landess, IT Manager DATE: October 23, 2011 SUBJECT: DEVELOPING NEW SOFTWARE TO ASSIST CUSTOMER SUPPORT The purpose of this memo is to focus on three reasons why the IT department should adopt a new method of dealing with long distance technical support using virtual network controller software (otherwise known as VNC). Having our clients use a VNC for support will allow our IT support team to view the client’s pc and interact with it. SUMMARY VNC software runs on the client’s machine and allows secure methods of fixing problems on the client’s pc. Three reasons why we should implement this software into our current customer service program include: 1. Our customer support team will save time dealing with each customer’s problem. 2. Customer satisfaction will increase after implementation. 3. The software will cost very little to develop. DISCUSSION Currently when a client needs support for a problem (examples include: client cannot access email, ftp, or other services we provide) they must call or email our IT department and wait for a reply. Using a VNC, we can skip a step of our current process. We no longer will need to reply and wait for further replies. To start this process, we first deploy the VNC software to the client’s machine. They can still email us, but we now require them to fully state...

...Communication Channels Within an Organization By: Jamie Lee What is communication? Communication is the act of exchanging words, thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, signals, writing, or behavior. It’s the art of using words to impart information or ideas. In any work environment communication is part of your day, how y9ou will complete your assigned duties. Communication is how you will get your point across. In my paper I will explain the different levels of communication and the importance of proper positive communication in your everyday work environment. Intrapersonal Communication is language use or internal thought to the communicator. Intrapersonal communication is the active involvement of the individual in symbolic processing of messages. The indicidual becomes his or her own sender and receiver, providing feedback to him or herself in an ongoing internal process. It can be useful to imagine intrapersonal communication occurring in the mind of the individual in a model which contains a sender, receiver and feedback. Although successful communication is generally defined as being between two or more individuals have argued that this definition is too narrow. Some forms of intrapersonal communication is day-dreaming, speaking aloud, reading aloud, repeating what one hears which increases conmcentration and retention. This is considered normal. Making gestures while thinking and interpreting non-verbal communication. Interpersonal communication...

... makes it likely that the next few years will be a major period of consolidation” (Zuckerman, A.M., 2011). Such mergers can be successful if the differences between the organizations are overcome and the companies blend their cultures. To do this, higher management must agree on what changes need to take place within the new organization as the new companies come together. Decisions need to be made about who has voting interests, how much stock that stockholders have in the merged organization and what staff will stay and what positions will be terminated. Each organization must agree to the changes and direct staff in what their roles will be. Communication is very important in the beginning. This involves staff meetings, memos, interoffice email, and clarity as to what management expects and what that mission statement of the organization is. The companies that are merging do not have to be the same. In fact, organizations should complement each other, where one is strong where the other is weak. To be effective and to be a success, the merging companies must be strong internally for the merged organization to keep their customers and thus, be profitable. Internal strength starts with stability in higher management, a firm idea as to what the shape of the organization will be, and communication with the staff throughout every phase of the merger. In Transition When two companies come together that were not only previously competitors, but were also enemies...

Forest, President; Steve Notch, Chief Executive; Pete Wilson, VP of Operations; Dave Ramirez, VP of HR; Pedro Gomez, VP of Public Relations; Ralph Woods, VP of Marketing Operations; Amanda Byrnes, VP of Advertising Operations; and Greg Stack, VP of Finance FROM: David Ramirez, VP of Human Resources SUBJECT: Roanoke Branch Update In recent months, the Roanoke branch office has received complaints from four clients. There is a feeling that the decline in customer satisfaction could be due in part to low morale among the branch’s employees. It has come to my attention that after a change in management, some of the graphic designers and art directors feel their works are being unfairly altered or rejected, as well as their ideas not being taken seriously. All the while, they are being asked to work longer hours without proper compensation, either monetarily or in time. All of the branch’s employees have threatened to leave the company. We must give this issue our immediate attention as the Roanoke branch handles some of our biggest clients and these clients are vital to the overall success of the company. We must reinforce to all employees they are a part of a large team, rather than the departmental “silo” structure that currently exists. As an executive team, I feel it is very important to reach out to the Roanoke branch to find out the root of the problem before it gets...
