It contains many illustrations, test questions and suggested projects for study. rnThis introduction to communication studies in business has in mind especially those with responsibility for supervision in an increasingly complex economic system. It is concerned with all the main points of using written and spoken English in the business world from grammatical errors to public relations, from correspondence to works magazines. The second edition considers recent developments, notably those in productivity bargaining and the streamlining of committee procedure which render communications training even more necessary.rnThis book gives supervisors the basic principles and techniques which they need to use, or which will affect them when used by others in the factory.
