MBAACM 697 teaches communication as an interactive classroom. Students are expected to come to class prepared to discuss the assigned readings; brainstorm, analyze, listen to and share ideas, write and revise drafts; and engage in individual and group work and oral presentations. Students will practice peer review of both individual and group writing assignments focusing on the attention to detail, clarity, concision, content, vocabulary, and sentence structure that is required in a professional business environment. Through participation in class discussions and projects students will engage in the essential communication skills that are a critical component of developing leadership skills to motivate and inspire others.
Benefits include:
- understand the key ingredients in effective managerial writing, small group and public presentations.
- express ideas, argue points professionally, and frame issues in a clear, concise, and confident manner.
- develop the interpersonal communication skills needed to listen and communicate more effectively with a diverse group of people.
