Business Communication (Harvard Business Essentials)
It is a very well writtien and structured textbook about business communication. It uses plain English. I just liked it right after I opened the first page.


Better then expected
I have purchased many books from Amazon.com and was very happy and pleased with my dealings with this seller. The book was in excellent condition and arrived sooner then expected.


The essential business guide for improving your business communication
All businesspeople can improve their correspondence skills. That's why this short, easily digestible guide belongs in every communicator's bookcase. It might not contain many new ideas, but it certainly emphasizes the time-tested rules of good grammar, organization and editing, while providing tips on overcoming writer's block, framing your fundamental ideas and making successful presentations. getAbstract certainly appreciates the value of straightforward letters and lectures, so we recommend this handy manual to anyone who wants to become a clearer communicator. The foremost idea is that all businesses and careers can benefit from confusion-free correspondence. This little book will help you reach this goal.


Fundamental
It's really a fundamental book of communication especially on writing, even for a reader, English is not the native language. I can't see special focus on business.


"Essential," Yes, But Also Invaluable
This is one of the volumes in the new Harvard Business School Essentials Series. Each offers authoritative answers to the most important questions concerning its specific subject. The material in this book is drawn from a variety of sources which include the Harvard Business School Press and the Harvard Business Review as well as Harvard ManageMentor®, an online service. Each volume is indeed "a highly practical resource for readers with all levels of experience." And each is by intent and in execution solution-oriented. Although I think those who have only recently embarked on a business career will derive the greatest benefit, the material is well-worth a periodic review from by senior-level executives.Richard Luecke assembles in this book (and in all of the issues in the series) cutting edge thinking. In this volume, he was assisted by a subject adviser, Professor Mary Munter of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, and they organize the material within nine chapters. Here are their titles:1. Good Writing (It Begins with Principles)
2. Start-Up Strategies (Your Launch Point)
3. The First Draft (Getting It Down)
4. Getting It Right ((The Editing Craft)
5. Everyday Writing (Memos, Letters, and E-Mails)
6. Presentations (Timeless Principles)
7. Backstage (Preparing Your Presentation8. Show Time (Making an Effective Delivery)
9. Dialogue (The Ultimate Communication)If you need assistance with mastering essentials in only one of these areas, I urge you to purchase a copy of this book ASAP. Luecke is an uncommonly clear thinker and writer. Thoughtfully, he provides a "Summing Up" section at the end of each chapter to facilitate a review of key points. There are two other books which I also presume to recommend highly: Kevin Ryan's recently published Write Up the Corporate Ladder and William K. Zinnser's On Writing, 25th Anniversary: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction.
