This full-colour text is an abridged version (68 fewer pages on reports) of 1995's "Business Communication Today", 4e, the best-selling business communication textbook. "Excellence in Business Communication" provides an exciting and dynamic new way of bringing the real world into the classroom. This is the first and only textbook that provides students with "on the job" experience through real-world simulations featuring actual companies. The text covers all the basic principles in a traditional sequence, but its real-life simulations, involving writing style, and eye-opening graphics all bring the subject to life as no other text does.
