...Business Communication Audwin L. Johnson (Aj) Com/285 August 2, 2010 Dr. Cheryl Lentz Business Communication Business communication is a critical element in my line of work. My section supplies a service to another section in the form of recordable media. My section is responsible for the insertion of the media into devices to be analyzed later. To accomplish this task my section must know when it is needed to be installed, removed, and transported to be analyzed. To find this information we must communicate with the section that does the scheduling. In turn the scheduler must communicate with the section that operates the equipment that my section inserts the media in to. After the installation and use by the operator, my section then retrieves the media and transports it to the analyzers. If there is a broken link in the chain of events, we may fail to insert the media or worse, we may never retrieve the media which may result in a security violation. My daily work activities are based on when the media is required and how long it is required. Once that information is known we can plan everything else around this. If the operator has issues with the equipment, the message also needs to be relayed to my section because we also service the...

The characteristics of each group is taken into account, along with the best channel of communication, the groups’ diversity is also considered, all to make sure the message is effective. Communication must always be designed with the audience in mind. One must consider the characteristics of the three groups. Demographics, which are measurable features such as age, sex, and education level can help one reach the target audience (Locker & Kienzler, 2008). Another tool available is psychographic characteristics, which are qualitative instead of quantitative such as beliefs, goals, and lifestyles (Locker & Kienzler, 2008).

...Solutions to selected exercises from those assigned in outline (Chapters 1, 2 & 3) Message for Analysis (p. 31) Students will recognize this document as ineffective because it presents so many barriers to communication. The memo • Creates emotional barriers right from the first sentence (accusing employees of lying and cheating, later calling them names), preventing readers from perceiving the intended message • Presents a restrictive and authoritarian attitude, reflecting an environment that discourages open communication and thus discourages employee candor • Expresses bias or prejudice (in the slur against women employees) • Reflects the author’s anger and defensiveness (“I simply have no choice”) • Assumes bad intentions on the part of the employees, underlining the lack of audience-centered thinking • Uses vague, confusing language (More than three times during what period? Will have to answer to the author for what specific penalties?) • Polarizes workers by inciting conflict between “punctual” employees and others 1.2 The tasks described have the following communication directions: a. Downward, upward, and horizontal—since the entire company is involved. A memo is the best choice (either printed or electronic) to ensure that everyone receives the message (as opposed to, say, a blog posting, which is more passive). b. Upward. Depending on the situation, could be a formal proposal or a presentation at an executive meeting. c. Horizontal. Because this situation...
