Business Communications

Communication is simply the act of transferring information from one place to another. In the era of business communication is a necessary tools. People often communicate with their business partners, stake holders, employees, customers and any related parties.

The communication process and channels are significantly changes in the way social, technical and global changes occurs and social agents produce, distribute and consume information, knowledge and culture. One of the main reason of this changes is the fundamental shift from an analog system to a digital one in transmitting business messages.

We will begin by looking at the characteristics of the digital means as opposed to the analog one; we will analyze the ways in which that digitization influences the way we transmit business messages and we will conclude by assessing the limitation and advantages of the digitization of transmitting business messages.

Communication problems not only every year arouse more and more interest among people of different ages, diffrent professions and education, but, above all, are a necessary component of the professional competence of specialists in all areas of their activity. In 1941, Fethullah Gülen, an Islamic scholar and Turkish public figure, said that "thanks to advances in communications and transport, one of the driving forces of globalization, the distances between countries and peoples are rapidly blurring". But during communication, a person commits many mistakes and stupidities. Foolishness is visible in those moments when a person should be silent, and he speaks, or when it is necessary to speak, and he is silent, - Zufar Fatkudinov said. The same thing happens in entrepreneurial communications. Business communications are a set of contacts in the business environment that each firm establishes and reproduces in the process of carrying out entrepreneurial actions, participation in business relations. Business communications are interfirm or intrafirm in nature. Business communications should be distinguished from ordinary communication. They represent ways of organizing the interaction of business entities with their intra-firm and inter-firm environment, during which all parties of the interaction strive to defend their interests in business. The materials of this book can be used in the study of the disciplines "Ethics of business relations", "Business communication", "Psychology of business communication", "Psychology of management" in higher and secondary educational institutions. The textbook is practically oriented: at the end of each chapter there are control questions and tasks, as well as literature for independent study.

It is an undisputable fact that business train will sputter along without a solid marketing approach. Marketing helps Business owners to gain and sustain customers’ attention and commitment. But like the saying goes; “Nothing good comes easy”. When one take into cognisance the fund that most successful companies pump into marketing (through Advertising, Public relations, Sales promotion, etc), it’s easy for the small business owner to find excuses for neglecting marketing. Most small businesses operate on a no-frills budget and many owners consider marketing something they can’t afford or a soft expense. Many business owners have said "I have to pay the bills. Marketing I can cut." True marketing is an expense that can be reduced or cut. The question that then arises is how without marketing do you propose to gain those much needed customers that mean sales. It’s cliché to say you have to spend money to make money, but it is absolutely true. If you do not effectively market your company, brand, image and products or services, you won’t be in business for long. This paper is therefore a journey into the Concept of Marketing, the various Marketing communication tools that can be used to enhance sales and elevate an organization’s position among its peers, and TEN suggested ways to take ones’ business to such elevated status.

Usability is about context. If you know where someone performs a process, you can develop materials for that setting. The idea is
conforming content to context makes that content easy to use. Today’s
global economy complicates this situation by increasing the contexts
in which individuals use products. Technical communicators can
address this challenge by identifying central factors affecting usability in
different settings.

The present qualitative study aimed to investigate the role of Business English as Lingua Franca (BELF) courses in learners' success in communication in an Iranian company. In doing so, 25 adult BELF learners were selected from an automotive parts manufacturing company in Tehran, Iran. They were the employees of a company consisting of men and women in the 30 to 45 age group who worked in different departments as bosses, middle managers, top managers, and directors. Their English proficiency levels were elementary, pre-intermediate, and intermediate. The participants took part in the interviews and answered a 20-item questionnaire. The questionnaire mainly focused on using English in the workplace. The interviews primarily focused on eliciting the respondents' views regarding the benefits of using English at the workplace. The interviews and respondents' answers to the questionnaire showed that BELF courses lead to job performance efficiency, higher self-confidence when communicating, willingness to use more English at the workplace, and fewer misunderstandings. It also could enhance participants' language proficiency level and communication skills. Moreover, participation in BELF courses could facilitate English in the workplace and encourage a professional atmosphere compared to the past.

This collection examines the forces and factors affecting rhetoric, writing, and communication expectations in the nations of the former Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc. The entries in this collection focus on four interconnected topics or contexts influencing rhetorical expectations and writing practices in these countries. The four contexts are (1) the dynamics of the educational settings in which students learn about the relationships between rhetoric and writing; (2) the professional environments in which students will apply their knowledge of rhetoric and writing upon completing their formal studies; (3) the greater global context that affects the teaching of rhetoric and writing as connected to educational institutions becoming part of a larger and more integrated global community; and (4) the factors and perceptions that affect how students apply and/or expand their foundations in rhetoric and writing to communicate effectively across different forms of media.

By approaching ideas of rhetoric, writing, and communication from the perspective of these four areas, this collection provides readers with a broad foundation for understanding the various overarching and interlocking contexts that affect perceptions of and practices involving communication practices and expectations in the former Eastern Bloc. Additionally, this approach provides researchers, teachers, and students with ideas and approaches that can be used to more effectively engage both with this topic area and with individuals from these nations.

The study is an attempt to assess the methods of development in the compositions of students who are reading various business-oriented courses in private universities in Ghana. This area has received little attention from researchers in Ghana. Two private universities-Christian Service and Ghana Baptist University College-were the two selected cases. Prior investigations exposed students' writing flaws in the form of wrong usage of the features of a particular method of development when writing essays. Therefore, the literature reviewed was mostly based on these gaps indicated. The primary data collected from the field were from texts (classroom-based and take-home-based texts). Basically, probability sampling techniques were employed to sample the population of the cases selected. All the data gathered were descriptively analysed. The findings showed that students have problems composing descriptive and comparison and contrast paragraphs or essays. But, the study brought to li...

Despite the growing economic power of the Overseas Chinese and the People's Republic of China, Chinese business practices remain poorly understood. Recent studies do indicate that Chinese managers make remarkably limited direct use of computer-based information systems. A theory is developed to explain the observed phenomenon by first contrasting Western and Chinese philosophy and then considering the Confucian-based values and behaviours which distinguish Chinese management systems from their Anglo-American counterparts. The explanatory theory suggests that the use of MIS in the Chinese business culture has been, and will continue to be, shaped by factors such as paternalism, personalism and high context communications. The implications for competing or collaborating with Chinese organizations and supplying information technology-based products and services to the Chinese market are discussed. The cross-cultural challenge facing information management researchers and practitio...

Las nuevas tecnologías de la información han modificado las estrategias de la comunicación empresarial. Las herramientas derivadas de la Web 2.0, y en concreto, las redes sociales incorporan nuevos paradigmas en el manejo de la comunicación hasta el punto de transformar la relación que tradicionalmente mantenían los usuarios con las corporaciones. A lo largo de este artículo, y mediante una metodología de investigación cuantitativa, analizamos la comunicación que desarrollan las empresas del IBEX 35 a través de la red social Twitter para evidenciar la importancia que las empresas conceden a esta plataforma a la hora de crear una imagen exterior coherente y que favorezca su posicionamiento en el mercado.

What follows is a collection of papers, blog posts, the odd e-mail, and lecture notes on the subjects of communication and conversation. These are presented in chronological order. Some of this material looks incomplete. Indeed it is. Learning is never complete. Minimal editing has been performed on the original material.

The first paper in this anthology is a paper written to help me prepare for an April 28, 2006 conference. Doubtless I will add to this as time goes on.

Basically, probability sampling techniques were employed to sample the population of the cases selected. All the data gathered were descriptively analysed. The findings showed that students have problems composing descriptive and comparison and contrast paragraphs or essays. But, the study brought to light that students handled narrative, argumentative, and cause and effect essays knowledgeably. It was recommended that enough attention should be given to the teaching and learning of descriptive and comparison and contrast essays. It is our expectation that the findings and recommendations of the work would influence the decisions of policy makers in the field of English language.

Цифровое кочевничество (digital nomadism) как социокультурное явление принадлежит исключительно современному сетевому информационно-коммуникативному обществу, поскольку возникло, благодаря развитию Интернет, появлению новейших цифровых и мобильных технологий, а также широкому распространению беспроводных коммуникаций. Главными характеристиками цифровых кочевников являются их мобильность и постоянная подключенность к Сети.
Экспоненциальный рост количества организаций, переводящих своих сотрудников в «кочевой» режим работы, равно, как и количества автономных «кочевников»/«номадов»  наводит на мысль о том, что цифровое кочевничество скоро станет глобальным явлением для всех территорий, покрываемых спутниковой связью. В связи с этим возникает множество вопросов различного характера, включая вопросы разработки возможных стратегий организации бизнес-коммуникаций в условиях цифрового номадизма.
Бизнес-коммуникации в контексте данной статьи понимаются как всё многообразие off- и online коммуникаций, связанных с профессиональной деятельностью социального субъекта (цифрового кочевника), или любой его деятельностью, приносящей ему доход. Определение и описание (в самом общем виде) онтологических оснований таких бизнес-коммуникаций, факторов их формирования, основных базовых стратегий  и условий эффективности, а также типов и профилей их субъектов, является целью статьи.
