Communication in the Office

The aim of this book is to equip any person working in an office environment with the basic knowledge, skills and attitudes to communicate effectively in the administrative and office environment. Communication is the basis of all relationships. All business matters depend on the exchange of information, and the success of the organisation’s performance depends on the effective exchange of this information. Communication therefore affects every decision and almost every activity in the organisation. It does not include only human communication but also the management of communications technology – computer, email, voice-mail, databases and all other technical equipment of the modern electronic office.
