Corporate Communication
"Effective communication takes preparation, practice, and persistence. There are many ways to learn communication skills; the school of experience, or 'hard knocks', is one of them. But in the business environment, a 'knock' (or lesson learned) may come at the expense of your credibility through a blown presentation to a client."

The final unit will focus on managing groups and teams.
Principles of Management
This course will illustrate the ways in which the practice of management evolves as firms grow in size. Historically, middle managers have served as so-called “gatekeepers” who collect, analyze, and pass information up and down the management chain within an organization. But two recent developments at the turn of the 21st century, namely, low-cost data manipulation in computers and the emergence of widespread, real-time communication (in the forms of inexpensive, long-distance global calling, email, text messaging, and social media) have reduced the need for these middle-manager gatekeepers, and companies have eliminated thousands of such positions. The goal! To speed the flow of information and decision-making and reduce the number of layers that separate the customer from the leadership of an organization.
