This book is choc-full of useful techniques for good, solid business communication. The samples are well thought-out and are very true to life. However, the questions, especially the ethics questions do not have any answers provided. Even the instructor copy doesn't have any of the answers, so effectively it boils down to your opinions and whether or not you can defend them. Yee Hah, just like real life.

I use this book for my primary text in a Business and Professional Communication class that I teach. The students like how the book is organized; I appreciate the examples that we can use in class for discussion.

Beyond that, the AIDA approach to business writing is clear and easy to use once students get the hang of it. My students' major project is to work with an organization in solving a communication problem, they are responsible for writing memos and reports to both the client and me.

However, I guess that the biggest endorsement is the number of students who do not resell this book at the end of the semester. I have had several tell me that this is one of the few books that they will take with them when they graduate because they view it as a good reference book.

I always thought I was good at communication until I read this book (text book really). I was particularly impressed by the examples of emails that on the surface look fine until the writer points out the loop holes. Despite its title this book comes in hand for many situations well outside business. I have also used my newly acquired skills in academic, political and philanthropic forums and received very positive feedback from colleagues who noticed a change. Buy this book.

This book was a purchase for college. It has lots of graphs and charts with easy to read print. It also has lots of references like definitions, english help, work pages, and other things.

I printed off things from this book for future reference.

Beware!! Even though it says "Excellence in Business Communication" as the product title it is actually "Excellence in Business Communication Study Guide". I will upload a photo to show that. I did however get a full refund from betterworldbooks within 48 hours.

I ordered the book and it was 2 days late. Also I never even used the book. Set it on my bookshelf and then when the class was over I went to trade in the item and they wouldn't accept it. Said that it wasn't in acceptable condition. So I guess the lesson here is check the book before you forget about it. Cause now I can't trade it back for the $67 they said I could. Not sure if it's Amazon or this particular seller but I am going to be very careful about trade ins from here on out.

This is a far better written book than my Marketing book that I was forced to read.
This seems to be a competently written book on the subject with good references in the back.
If you had to buy this for your class or if you'd like to polish up on your business communication skills then I'd recommend it.

Got my book in 5 days, the book is brand new! Keep up the good work!

i had to buy this boook for a school communication class the reading is pretty simple and easy to take notes

Just what i needed for my college class, nothing is wrong with the book and seems to be well written.
