Book Description
This best-selling introduction to the basic concepts of business communication is designed to improve the communication skills of entry-level managers and employees, and to serve as a reference for experienced professionals who wish to refresh or update their communication skills. Separate chapters on the communication process, organizational theory and culture, and interpersonal communication theory form the foundation for later discussions of critical listening, nonverbal communication, and obstacles to organizational communication. Two chapters are devoted to interviewing and two chapters examine small groups and leadership processes. Four final chapters offer guidance in informative and persuasive presentations, including full-chapter coverage of language and delivery and full-chapter coverage of the use of visual aids. A highly-visual 4-color design, pedagogy that is as practical as it is effective, and a CD-ROM with sample business and professional scenarios, will help your students engage with the material and apply the text's concepts outside the classroom.

Don't Buy It if you don't need it.......2007-10-04
This is a good book, but I quickly realized I didn't need it. I have worked for 15 years in various office settings, and was able to complete many homework assignments without the assistance of this book. The only pieces that I had to focus on were the different office conflict scenarious listed through the book, but if your class does not focus on these entries, the book may not be too useful.

Excellent Book .......2007-03-24
I obtained this book more than ten years ago when I took Ms. Hamilton's class at Tarrant County College. I still have it and refer to it from time to time. I also used the communication styles from this book for a team presentation in another class, at University of Phoenix, a few years ago. My teammate and I had both taken Ms. Hamilton's class at TCC (different years) and were very impressed with the book, had both held on to it and use it for reference in communication styles, resumes, interviews, and presentations. I highly recommend it.
Great book, Bad CD-Rom.......2006-11-09
This book has some great information in it and it could stand alone very easily on its content. The CD-ROM, however, needs work. It is nearly impossible to install since it continually prompts you to install QuickTime 6.0, even if you already have it! The CD-ROM also requires you to turn off all of your virus protection to use it. I give the actual book a B+ and the CD-ROM a grade of D-.
Please let your instructor know of the CD-ROM issues so complaints can be filed with the publisher to get this fixed.
Good Basic Information on Improving Communication .......2006-07-06
Communicating for Results is a good primer for the student or person who wants to improve his/her communication abilities.
Among the topics covered include:
1. Information on the different types of interviews.
2. Nonverbal communication in organizations.
3. How to be an effective listener (hint: we were born with one mouth and two ears!).
4. How to deliver informative presentations.
5. The types of visual aids and how to use them.
6. How to make persuasive presentations.
7. Participating in small groups.
8. How to prepare for a presentation by researching, supporting, and delivering your ideas.
All in all, a good basic book for a 2 or 4-year school. The writing style is simple without being simplistic.
Recommended.

Strategic Communication in Business and the Professions.......2007-05-03
I felt this book was very useful for the class I took with it. The case studies included throughout the text made it easy to comprehend and easier to apply to business situations. The book is very detailed and although I felt I knew things about meetings and mentoring the text taught me even more. If you want to be in the business world one day, this book is a must have if you want to be successful.
Strategic Communication in Business and the Professions (5th Edition).......2007-05-01
This book is perfect for college-level courses in either Marketing or Business. Chapters consider the basics of communication perspectives within businesses. The book was complex and full of facts yet easily understood. I learned quite a bit while reading this book.
Have to do this for class : ).......2007-05-01
I found this book very helpful. Even though the chapters were very long, they were very informational with a few good example. I thought this book was a good choice for the class that I took: Organizational Communication. The book was organized very well, including everything that I thought was relevant and important. Before reading the book I thought most of the stuff was common sense but it taught me many things I never leaned about and did not know.
Strategic Communication in Business and the Professions.......2007-04-26
I found this textbook very readable. The skills and strategies were further enhanced by real world examples. The material is presented in a concise format. The chapters are well organized. The summaries and key terms at the end of the chapters were helpful in reviewing the material. Our class used the activities in the classroom to engage students in the process.
I recommend this book and will hold onto it for future reference.

Communicating at Work; Principles and Practices for Business and the Professional.......2006-11-12
The text and CD ROM will enhance communication in everyday life. The text provides in-depth discussion along with practical skills and testing to greatly improve all types of communication.
this book isn't the best.......2006-08-30
My professor loves this book. I don't know why; makes me wonder if she ever read it the way a student would. This book makes its point early on, and the rest of the paragraphs you will read are nothing more than tedious example after tedious example. I found that I could get by without reading much more than the first few sentences of each section, stopping every so often to take note of a vocabulary word or a concept that has a better word to describe it. Even worse is I'm doubtful that I will get a single penny at buyback for this thing as McGraw-Hill decided to screw me over by publishing the 9th edition of this very tedious book. I'm betting that there won't really be any differences, save for the cover. This book is tedious at best. That's all there is to it. It tries to make communicating at work seem hard and tedious and at times it would seem it doubts the intelligence of the reader by having sappy quotes from people like Sam Walton and Donald Trump.
Excellant condition.......2005-12-13
I received my book right away. It was in excellant condition, just as it was described. I would definitely buy from this seller again.
Great Service.......2005-09-26

Customer Reviews:
Easy to Read and Helpful.......2007-06-13
I liked all the examples in this book which explained the concepts. Communicating at Work was very helpful for me in my college class and I enjoyed reading it every time I opened it.
Is ok........2007-01-22
The material is a bit difficult to follow. There are too many examples and editorial information in the chapters, not focusing on the subject matter.
Delivery time was not as promised.

Excellent book - idiotic title.......2007-10-22
This book is a serious but very readable approach to educating filmmakers on the maze of legal hoops that must be jumped through in order to create a film. Indispensable resource to have.
IT TAKES YOU STRAIGHT TO SCHOOL (wink).......2007-09-19
The book gave me moe information than needed. It talks about the complications in distrubution deals, the unions, music, digaital cameras, and a few other things upcoming producers need to know about the industry before signing into or onto something. I highly recommend it to producers, writers, and directiors. It remind us that the film world is like a whole other business on another planet.
MUST Have.......2007-05-12
If you wanna get into any sort of video field, or wanna know how the industry functions, and what are the legal and business issues you have to deal with...
...this book is a MUST Have.
Good book for everyone that wants to know the business.......2007-01-19
not only did I get this for myself but I got two other friends their own personal copies (got tired of them borrowing mine). It will keep you out of legal trouble in the film industry and give you insight as to how things are structured.
More Than a Great Book--It's a Public Service.......2004-06-16
This is more than a great book--it's a public service. The
authors share insights from their decades of legal and
entertainment production experience, in essence offering
thousands of dollars of free legal advice to aspiring
independent producers. Beyond offering a roadmap of business-
planning steps, the book includes templates of numerous legal
forms that an independent producer might need. Meanwhile, in
clear and artful prose, they alternate between You're-Not-God
straight talk and You-Can-Do-It encouragement. Between the
lines, there seems to be a genuine interest in helping
important stories and quality independent work to see the
light of day. I've read other books on the business side of
entertainment that were helpful, but this stands out as the
best of the lot.
