Coordinating (...with others who are interdependent to the message)
Delivering (...the message appropriately to the right audience)

Students will also gain an understanding of how, why and the most effective way for people to communicate in business/organizational settings.  This class will help prepare students to navigate a complex business world that is highly dependent on the ability to communicate well.  This course places heavy emphasis on the components of writing to create clear and concise communication in all forms.
