...Easy To Be Green 2013 English Street San Francisco, CA 94115 August 7, 2013 The Construction Manager Greenfield Community College, 500 Andrews St, San Rafael, CA 98765 Dear Mr. Budd, As a new and valued customer to our company, Easy to Be Green (EBG), we appreciate the opportunity to service Greenfield College with the installation of energy efficient heating, cooling and insulation systems. We recognize the size and importance of this project to the College and for this reason, it is important that we are both flexible to changes.

...Exercise 2 Given below is a direct Memo from the President and CEO of Meherban Marketing Enterprises, Hyderabad, as part of company policy. To : All staff From : Vivaan Gupta President and CEO Date : 18 July 2014 Subject : Cutting Down Tour Expenditure of Officers In the recent months, I has been noticed that there is a spurt in the tour expenditure incurred by our officers when they had gone on tours/visits. This was not only a wasteful expenditure, but also sets a poor example to our subordinates. In view of the above, may I request to all the heads of divisions, to see that not more than 5% of the officers be sent on visits/tours at any one time. As far as possible they should not stay in accommodation which is higher than their entitlement/permissible allowance. The laundry expenses in a large number of cases which had exceeded the cost of board. I guess it is the time that with immediate effect a flat laundry allowance of Rs. 5/- per day should be granted. Entertainment allowance was also on the higher side. I would like to invite your opinion on the amount, which should be admissible. Personally, I think Rs. 15/- per day would be more than adequate. In addition, I received a representation from the officer’s union that they require a hike in their conveyance/fuel allowance, at Hyderabad. I am sure that all Divisional heads would motivate their staff to see this request of mine in its correct perspective. This policy...

...It’s about time (and how to manage it) My article was by John Zimmer, CC, CL. This article is focused on time and how to manage your time while giving speeches. This article starts off with a quote from Benjamin Franklin that says “Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time.” This article gives a lot of great tips for preparing your speech and knowing what to expect. Speakers must stay on time, by respecting the time you are given you’re also respecting your audience, other speakers that may be following you and the event coordinator that allotted you your time slot. Practicing your speech timing is critical. If you are given twenty minutes of speaking time, read your speech allowed to yourself or maybe a family member and have a timer with you. Although, know that practice time and live event time may not be the same. Laughter, questions and unexpected interruptions can make your presentation carry on longer that you may have expected. Having a handout for your audience that reads the most important parts of your speech is a great way to be prepared for any interruptions and to focus on your main key points of your presentation. Not only will this make your presentation better it’ll also make your presentation shorter. Always have a plan to cut your presentation short. If you are one of many speakers, not everyone is going to end their speech on time. “You can prepare two versions of your presentation...

...Case let 1 Mr. and Mrs. Sharma went to Woodlands Apparel to buy a shirt. Mr. Sharma did not read the price tag on the piece selected by him. At the counter, while making the payment he asked for the price. Rs. 950 was the answer. Meanwhile, Mrs. Sharma, who was still shopping came back and joined her husband. She was glad that he had selected a nice black shirt for himself. She pointed out that there was a 25% discount on that item. The counter person nodded in agreement. Mr. Sharma was thrilled to hear that “It means the price of this shirt is just Rs. 712. That’s fantastic”, said Mr. Sharma. He decided to buy one more shirt in blue color. In no time, he returned with the second shirt and asked them to be packed. When he received the cash memo for payment, he was astonished to find that he had to pay Rs. 1,900 and Rs. 1,424. Mr. Sharma could hardly reconcile himself to the fact that the counter person had quoted the discounted price which was Rs. 950. The original price printed on the price tag was Rs. 1,266. Questions 1. What should Mr. Sharma have done to avoid the misunderstanding? He should have firstly checked the price on the tag whilst selecting the shirt, even if he didn’t he should have confirmed with the cashier whether the price quoted by him was the original or the discounted one. 2. Discuss the main features involved in this case. Communication or rather miscommunication, presumption and lack of information exchanged between...

...1992 S Oxford Dr Angelo, TX 76908 November 1 2013 Josh Wilson, Director Community Health Club 3336 W Loop 306 San Angelo, TX 76904 Dear Mr. Wilson: Introduction I have been a member of Community Health Club for over 6 months, and I have found that swimming laps every morning is a great way to not only stay in shape, but also a great way to reflect and focus for the day ahead. Unfortunately, in order to attain the peaceful experience every morning, I must arrive early enough to beat the rest of the members to the pool, or I risk sitting around waiting for a lane to open up. The issue not having a pool large enough to accommodate all of the members is not only a problem of member satisfaction, but also a financial issue. Fortunately, I have a proposal to build a full sized Olympic pool that can not only guarantee the satisfaction of the current members of Community Health Club, but also provide many new revenue opportunities. Background and Problem The current pool housed at Community Health Club is a 3-lane, 25-yard pool that is used for lap swimming, fitness classes, as well as free swim. With a pool this size, only one of these activities can be done at a particular time period. Not only does this create a scheduling issue while trying to find times for every activity for the different lifestyles of the members, but it also limits the number of classes or activities the club can offer. Add this problem to the fact that because the pool not large enough for...

...Business Communication Trends Paper Derek Phillips COM/285 27 March 12 Stella Kalfas “Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.” Jim Rohn This quote is a great example of how business communication works. Business communication comes in all forms, but it isn’t all about what you know. Some forms of business communication or verbal, and non verbal. Business communication plays a great role in my day to day activities at work. My job as a military liaison is to travel throughout the Midwest and speak to military service members about their educational goals. In addition to that, I call and follow up with all of the service members who request more information about their specific situations. Business communication is the biggest part of my day to day activities at work. Business communication helps me manage my daily work activities because business communication can consist of phone calls, emails, and verbal communication. My professional email account helps me manage verbal conversations that I had with someone. In my position I speak with hundreds of people a week and I ask a lot of them to email me. This allows me to have a record of our conversation and to properly follow up with them if needed. On the other hand, I have a lot of phone conversations with people and this allows me to manage a lot of business contacts on a daily basis. In my current workplace...

...Barriers to Communication Author Michael K. Swan, Washington State University Reviewers Diane Jackman, Eastern Illinois University Gary Thome, Riverland Community College Introduction Communication plays a most important role in employer-employee relationships on farm operations. It also affects the relationships among family members on the management team. Although effective communication does not guarantee success of a farm operation, its absence usually assures problems. A communication problem may soon become a disaster or it may linger on for years. No matter how good the communication systems in an operation are, communication barriers can and do often occur. This may be caused by a number of reasons that can usually be summarized as being due to physical barriers, system design faults, or additional barriers. Physical barriers are often due to the nature of the environment. One natural barrier is when managers and employees are located in different buildings or on different sites of the operation. Likewise, poor or outdated equipment, particularly the failure of management to introduce new technology, may also cause problems. Employee shortages are another factor that frequently cause communication difficulties for an operation. While distractions like noise, poor lighting or an environment that is too hot or cold can all affect people’s spirits and concentration, which in turn interfere with effective communication. Not having an office and lunchroom...

...Business Communication Trends Business communication can be defined as any type of verbal or written communication inside a business or organization. It could be used to promote the organization’s products or the organization itself, or it could be to pass down information to all employees. And just like everything in people’s lives, these means of communication has been influenced and are constantly changing by technology in all its forms. Back in the day, besides verbal, every business communication was made by written memos and letters. Today’s business communication has become a totally different interaction due to all the changes and new available technology, like email, web based pages, share network folders, teleconferencing and videoconferencing. These five forms of communication are the main one used at a “Support Group” in the US Army. A support group is the unit that takes care of all the needs of their subordinate units, needs like food, supplies, medical, transportation, water, etc. In order to fulfill those needs the support group has to communicate on a daily basis with every subordinate unit’s sections to get the accurate information. After gathering all the information, it arranges the movements to fulfill the needs, and finally have to report every move with specific details to higher Head Quarters. Communication by email is the main form while working for a support group, this type of communication is constant along with the phone. Is the perfect way to...
