COMMUNICATING IN BUSINESS, 8E, International Edition offers a realistic approach to communication in today's organizations. The text covers the most important business communication concepts in detail, and thoroughly integrates coverage of today's social media and other communication technologies. Building on core foundational written and oral communication skills, the 8th edition helps readers make sound medium choices and provides guidelines and examples for the many ways people communicate at work. Readers learn how to create PowerPoint decks, use instant messaging and texting effectively at work, engage customers using social media, lead web meetings and conference calls, and more.

Fundamentals of Contemporary Business Communication distills the basic concepts of successful business communication, placing significant emphasis on grammar and mechanics. The author's hands-on approach--including the unique 3Ps (problem, process, product) model--connects topics, examples, and exercises to the modern workplace. Fundamentals combines the traditional textbook format with a workbook, allowing students to immediately test, apply, and reinforce the basics of business communication. The Second Edition continues the author's integrated approach to grammar and mechanics. Language Arts topics appear in every third chapter to introduce or review the basic rules of usage. Part VI of the text includes five modules: Sentence Structure; Business-Style Punctuation; Verbs and Subject-Verb Agreement; Using Pronouns, Adjectives, and Adverbs; and Mechanics in Business Writing. These modules are close to chapter length and are more thorough than the brief reference manuals that appear in other texts.

Available for students as an effective simulation learning tool. Each case scenario allows students to experience a business office situation and actively solve problems by applying the communication skills they have learned in the textbook. Both fun and education, this CD is highly interactive, allowing students to work independently and at their own pace, while still receiving guidance when needed.
