序言Students don't have to be convinced of the need for competent communicationskills. By the time they enter the business communication class, they knowenough about the business environment to appreciate the critical role commu-nication plays in the contemporary organization. They're also aware of the rolecommunication will play in helping them secure an internship or get a job and besuccessful at work.
To sustain this inherent interest, students need a textbook that is current, fast-paced, and interesting——just like business itself. Thus, a major objective of Funda-mentals of Contemporary Business Communication is to present comprehensive cov-erage of real-world concepts in an interesting, lively, and concise manner.
This edition of Fundamentals has been considerably revised to provide students with the slolls they needto communicate effectively in the complex and ever-changing contemporary work environment. The revi-sion was based on helpful feedback received from current users around the country (and, indeed, around theEnglish-speaking world), changes in the discipline, and changes in the workplace itself.
