Description
Students preparing to succeed in today's workplace require solid training in communication skills and principles, as well as experience applying them in realistic professional contexts. In Business and Professional Communication, Kory Floyd and Peter Cardon incorporate substantial business-world experience throughout the text's principles, examples and activities. They ensure that the theories, concepts, and skills most relevant to the communication discipline are fully represented. The result is a program that helps students understand and apply communication skills in both their personal and professional lives. The 'People First' feature presents students with realistic scenarios that are sensitive, discomforting, or tricky to manage. It then teaches students how to navigate those situations effectively. This gives students concrete skills for preserving relationships with others as they encounter these difficult conversations. Unique to the market, this text includes a dedicated chapter focused on perspective-taking: covering the processes of person-perception; common perceptual errors; the self-serving bias and the fundamental attribution error; the self-concept; and the processes of image management. This equips students to understand and pay attention to the perspectives of others. Business and Professional Communication also includes a dedicated chapter focused on career communication, encouraging students to engage in networking and to consider the priorities and points of view of others as they seek employment and begin to interact professionally.
