Without communication, business is not possible. It is, therefore, desirable and necessary that communication be integrated into all aspects of business if one wishes to truly comprehend and succeed in business transactions and relationships. The contributing authors of this volume are all acknowledged experts in the field of communication. Their texts demonstrate how communication influences, directs, and determines virtually each and every facet of the business world. In turn, a better, more comprehensive understanding of business is possible.
