The Business Communication Skills for Managers textbook contains fifteen chapters—one chapter per week for a sixteen-week semester (with an additional week for review). If you need to modify the pace and cover the material more quickly, the following chapters work well together:
- Chapter 1: Communicating in Business and Chapter 2: Writing in Business
- Chapter 7: Public Speaking and Chapter 8: Developing and Delivering Business Presentations
- Chapter 11: Communicating Different Messages and Chapter 12: Collaboration In And Across Teams
- Chapter 14: Finding a Job and Chapter 15: Recruiting and Selecting New Employees
Chapter 6: Reports and Chapter 10: Social Media can also be combined with other chapters as necessary.
We recommend NOT doubling up the following chapters, because they have more material to cover. Students will need more time for mastery and completion of assignments.
- Chapter 4: Research
- Chapter 5: Visual Media
