...Chapter One Introdution: Fundamentals of Business Writing I. The major differences between school writing and business writing School writing, typically in the form of essays, is aimed at impressing the audience, i.e. examiners. To score high, student writers have to use fairly complicated vocabulary and sentences in their written work. Business writers, however, mainly aim to communicate information to their colleagues, clients, and other associated parties. They are relatively free to use what language that can get the business done efficiently and effectively. II. Seven steps in the process of wring 1. clarifying your aim 2. identifying your readers 3. making a general plan 4. sketching a synopsis (大纲) 5. drafting your text 6. putting the draft aside 7. revising and editing ★ Writing is a recursive and creative process. The detailed plan is not adhered to in actual writing. Writers frequently come up with ideas that are activated in the process of writing. Writers read the text they have already produced to help generate more ideas. In effect, the writing process is no linear at all but is characterized by recursive ness and creativeness. III. Three principles of business writing 1. Clarity – means setting your message across clearly. (See detailed information on page 4) 2. Consideration – good business writers take their readers’ needs, problems, and reactions to the writing into consideration. And they...

...2012 Michael Zervos Business-To-Business Message In today' fast evolving business world, individuals and companies are using electronic communication to transact business with one another more than ever. What is more with the rise of digital technologies in electronic communication, businesses have opened the proverbial door to larger international customer base transactions. As companies, organizations, and individuals seek to increase annual business revenue, the way that they communicate has become the focus for targeting business to customer (B2C) and business- to- business (B2B) relationships. Because companies are beginning to compete aggressively for growing online e-commerce, business communication has become less formal as businesses vie to expedient electronic sales information more efficiently. Remaining relevant in today's business world requires that companies develop effective communication tactics to embrace not only the individual customer media but also industrial customer media as well. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to illustrate how the business communication process works, by analyzing three business communication messages to determine the sender, message, intention, technology, noise, receiver, and feedback contained within the message.

...Business Letters A business letter is more formal than a personal letter. It should have a margin of at least one inch on all four edges. It is always written on 8½"x11" (or metric equivalent) unlined stationery. There are sixparts to a business letter. 1. The Heading. This contains the return address (usually two or three lines) with the date on the last line. Sometimes it may be necessary to include a line after the address and before the date for a phone number, fax number, E-mail address, or something similar. Often a line is skipped between the address and date. That should always be done if the heading is next to the left margin. (See Business Letter Styles.) It is not necessary to type the return address if you are using stationery with the return address already imprinted. Always include the date. 2. The Inside Address. This is the address you are sending your letter to. Make it as complete as possible. Include titles and names if you know them. This is always on the left margin. If an 8½" x 11" paper is folded in thirds to fit in a standard 9" business envelope, the inside address can appear through the window in the envelope. An inside address also helps the recipient route the letter properly and can help should the envelope be damaged and the address become unreadable. Skip a line after the heading before the inside address. Skip another line after the inside address before the greeting. 3. The Greeting. Also called the salutation. The greeting in a business...

...Business Communications and Critical Thinking BCOM/275 – Week 1 Patty Haynes 07/11/13 Virginia Carter Assignment 1.1: Communication Process Model Misunderstanding #1 – Sample Claim Instructions vs. Provider Billing Who was the sender? The sender of the misunderstanding was the Credentialing Department manager. Who was the receiver? The receivers were 4 Network Development Representatives. What was the message? The message was that if a Provider sent in a Sample Claim Form and if the form was missing information, they could confirm with the provider what the correct information was, then insert it into the form themselves. What Channel was used to send the message? The message was sent through an E-Mail message. What was the misunderstanding that occurred? In the E-mail that was sent the manager loosely worded the new exeception to the Sample Claim Form rules. In the explanation she did not site that we would need to provide written confirmation from the Provider that was missing information from their Sample Claim, that states the Network Development team has permission to add the missing information. Since this small detail was not added, when the representatives heard the information, they thought that they could gather the information needed from other documents submitted by the Provider, and insert it into the form without gathering a confirmation from the Provider that the information is correct. When the representatives began a large project, one of the...

Title: Advertisement and its impacts on consumer buying behaviour; In case of Dominos Pizza Company. 2. Introductions: Advertisement plays a vital role in the business of any organisation. This is simply the medium of communication and delivering paid message from an organisation to customers regarding their products. Also, it is the strategy of a company for the promotion of product by gaining the attention of consumers towards itself and sometimes recalling the product in customer’s mind. Today, most of the products come with the advertisement and many of them come with the celebrity endorsement which acts as a credible means of spending money for consumers. Advertisement makes such kinds of perception in the consumer’s mind that, sometimes having that product becomes their social status. People want to have right choice of their products when they are using or buying. Studying the behaviour of consumers, if a consumer observes messages...

...Sample Persuasive Messages Jim Watson January 16, 2012 Comm/470 Professor Greta Zeimetz E-Commerce has become a part of our everyday way of shopping. Shopping via the internet is available through many companies, as well as enables the customer to save time and effort. Online shopping is also more convenient than going to the company’s store to shop. Electronic retailers understand this has become a competitive environment. These companies must not only find innovative ways to grow their business, but also maintain their existing customers. Electronic retailers must understand the customer behavior and understand the decision-making process a customer goes through prior to making a purchase. The main focus of this paper is to recognize three behaviors essential in e-retailing. I will discuss the communications medium in which each behavior occurs, as well as, explain how each medium enables e-commerce. I will examine each behavior using the communication process, to include the purpose, sender, receiver, message, environment, noise, technology, and feedback. E-Retailing Behaviors When a consumer starts their research for a product or service on the Internet, there are several aspects taken into account. Most consumers will be more inclined to brand names they trust to begin searching for a product, because they have established a sense of trust and loyalty with that name through experiences in other shopping techniques. The behavior of an e-retailing...

...have originated from sound. Speaking is an effective way of communication and is again classified into two types which are interpersonal communication and public speaking. Non verbal communication is the sending or receiving of wordless messages. We can say that communication other than oral and written, such as gesture, body language, posture, tone of voice or facial expressions, this all is called nonverbal communication.
