I NTRODUCTION

THE SUBJECT
Welcome to Business Communication II.

BUSINESS COMMUNICATION II

You have completed Business Communication I and are now poised to make a further educational leap into the realm of communication. Business Communication I introduced you to basic concepts of communication. You will now be exposed to the subject more deeply and study the intricate points of report and proposal writing. Business Communication II will allow you take a closer look at the way you communicate with people of other cultures. Thus Business Communication II will not only be text book exam oriented but it will also allow you to closely examine our concepts of communication in the multi-cultural context in which we live. Business Communication II will give you insights that are both theoretical and experiential. So, studying Business Communication II is studying about ourselves and the context in which we communicate.
