Product Description

The third edition of Communication: A Hands-on Approach focuses on different forms of communication, emphasizing writing as a communication tool, particularly within the business environment. To support this, each chapter contains numerous exercises to enable the student to practice the skills learnt in that chapter and to assist lecturers in reinforcing content covered in class.

The evolution of technology and its use in the business environment has been taken into account and for this edition, the chapter on digital media has been expanded and updated to take into account the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and disruptive approaches to education.

A new chapter on intercultural communication has been included to prepare students to communicate for diversity.
