...Evaluating Business Communication BCOM/230 During week four, our Learning Team was assigned with writing several business communication reports to several different levels of management within the organization. There was a communication from the Accountant Manager to the CEO, Staff Accountant to peer, Staff Accountant to Sales Manager and Accountant Manager to the Ad Hoc Committee. In the communication from the Accountant Manager to the CEO, the message was conveyed appropriately, the communication was sent in a formal report, which was appropriate for the audience, the communication was appropriate level, the leadership style affected the communication, and the communication was ethically sound and did not share more information than needed. All communications in the report sent relayed the intended messages very well. However, the communication from the Accountant Manager to the CEO is a great example of a formal communication. At first, the communication was going to be sent as a memo, but after careful consideration, a formal report was created instead. This was the best form of communication sent to the CEO due to being the appropriate level for his position within the company. The report was written using very good word choices for the audience. There was not a lot of accounting jargon used or the use of overly big words. The report was well worded for anyone at any reading level to have read. However, well written the report could have had some visible numbers to...

...January 29, 2011 Mark Sales Manager Riordan Manufacturing 208 Industry Dr. Silver Springs, CA 99999 Dear Mark, You may already know that the ad hoc committee was established by the company CEO William so we can know all areas of JJJ Company. When you requested that I was to write an update for you on my findings from the meeting of the ad hoc committee which was concerning the acquisition of JJJ Company. With you being our sales manager you are correct that the sales numbers projected by JJJ Company’s financial statements and the possibility of acquiring their business clients could and should improve our company sales. When talking with you, I heard you mention that you were an employee of JJJ’s in 2005 so this helps you understand how JJJ Company’s sales department runs. This would require very little training for the current staff. After carefully listening to your thoughts and ideas; I decided to take the time to review the operating activities of JJJ Company. Even though JJJ Company’s sales number is high, it shows that the operating expense is high as well. Because of the operating expenses are high, any sales JJJ Company will be making is being used to pay expenses instead of saving for anything else that is needed. A company must be able to earn a profit or they will not be able to stay in business. I noticed in the last five years their company has had poor cash flow. This does require our company to support JJJ Company until they become financially...

Most of the data in BI has been driven by IT with most of the focus has been captured in the designing of the system as per the technical preconditions making sure that the benefits such as information sharing ,agility , flexibility , information sharing , collaboration and flexibility are maintained. The key challenge in using the BI is to add business value in my view, lies in the way the information and analytical frameworks used within the organisations with incremental usage of ad hoc reports. The actual value of the business rests on something beyond technical implementation i.e, strategic alignment of data to improve management or operational process of the business.
