It is a compact written message designed to help someone remember something. Unlike letters, the external communications of a company, business memos are an internal form of communication and it is standard practice to save them. Their objective is to deliver information or instructions and writing them in a sensible manner that the information is delivered with more meaningful note and its impact on its reader is also serious. Confined to a single topic, each interoffice, interdepartmental and company - wide memo becomes part of the institutional memory of an organization.

As historical documents they are often referred to when writing reports or resolving disputes regarding past activities. In short, they speed up the daily business of doing business; they keep people who need to be kept in the know, in the know. When a business organization designs an official letterhead it often also designs an official memo sheet, complete with a company logo featured at the top of the page.

...head: INNOVATIVE CHANGE AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY Innovative Change at Ford Motor Company Keller University Human Resources 587 August 24, 2014 Abstract Since Alan Mulally took over as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for Ford Motor Company the business has been transformed into a powerful competitive force in the global automotive industry. An examination of the company’s communications surrounding Mulally’s retirement and the appointment of Mark Fields as the new CEO demonstrate how Ford used positive and candid communications to overcome resistance to the change. Actions as simple as providing verbal and nonverbal cues have a powerful influence on how others perceive a change (Nekoranec & Fourrier, 2013). A proposed alternative communication plan, including the use of more communication channels with increased frequency, would have helped the company address some of the fear and uncertainty among stakeholders. An example of an internal memo is provided to show how the use of positive and supportive descriptions of the change can motivate stakeholders to act as change agents on behalf of an organization by embracing the change and recognizing their essential role in the process. Innovative Change at Ford Motor Company In the past few decades Ford Motor Company has experienced a series of disruptive changes pertaining to the company’s leadership. In 2006, the appointment of Alan Mulally as the company’s Chief Executive Officer prompted...

Within the group I have managed some of the barriers of communication and they were mostly language, psychological and attitudinal barriers. I found it to be very helpful to understand each and every member of the group you work with to get a better understanding how these differences will affect the group productivity and performance. Below is some useful information to assist you in your new position. The first thing that I did when trying o overcome the barriers was to gather information about everyone in the work group. The first barrier was language. I found it hard to communicate to someone in my accounting field if they did not know the jargon. Jargon is not acceptable sometimes, especially when they are expecting you to explain everything. I started to understand that language barriers create the lack of confidence in others. Please make sure you learn all the accounting meanings and learn how to explain it to others. As work related issues with language presented itself, I educated everyone on it and even educated myself on things as well. The second barrier was psychological. If someone...

In the early 1970s, Triton discovered a large oil and gas field in the Gulf of Thailand. Recurring disagreements and confrontations with the Thai government stymied Triton from developing that field for more than l0 years. Lee's experience with the Thai government taught him an important lesson: If Triton's exploration ventures *.re io be successful in foreign countries, the company had to foster good relationships with key governmental officials in those countries. Lee created Triton Indonesia, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Triton Energy, to develop an oil field that the company acquired in Indonesia in 1988.
