Think about your future career and answer the following question: Why is it important in an academic setting to develop/improve business communication in terms of succeeding in the workplace?

In
thinking, focus on key concepts from (Chapters 1) in the course

impede establishing credibility as it related to the three key factors:
competence, caring and character. In this same line of thinking focus on
key concepts from Chapters 5,6,7 to support your primary theme.
Examples include but are NOT limited to: Chapter 5/inaccuracy in writing
abilities, failure to apply positive and other-oriented tone in
business messages ?Chapter 6/inability to evaluate your message via the
FAIR Test, Chapter 7/inability to write effective emails or handling
emotions effectively in online communications.

(1) Avoid Relying Heavy on the I-Voice (See Table 5.10). (2) Answer the
green highlighted question above by Framing the Message to focus on the
primary theme above. (3) Consider dividing your draft into
sections/paragraphs inclusive of but not limited to the following. [Make

aspirations.
