For courses in Business and Professional Communication
Real business examples and fundamental skill building
Business and Professional Communication places a strong emphasis on presentations in business settings to better prepare students for the realities of daily career life. Jim DiSanza and Nancy Legge’s comprehensive topic coverage offers clear guidance for all communication practices in businesses and organizations. Centered on the notion that business communication can influence the interpretation of issues and events, the Sixth Edition provides students with practical tips, contemporary applications, and a survey of the relevant contexts for business and professional communication.
NOTE: This ISBN is for a Pearson Books a la Carte edition: a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf text. In addition to the flexibility offered by this format, Books a la Carte editions offer students great value, as they cost significantly less than a bound textbook.
