This full colour text provides a dynamic way of bringing the real world into the classroom. It is the only textbook to combine all the basic principles with real-world simulations featuring actual companies - simulations which provide students with "on the job" experience in ways that no other textbook can match. Each chapter begins with "On the Job: Facing a Communication Dilemma", a slice-of-life vignette summarizing a communication problem faced by an actual company such as Mattel and McDonalds. Each chapter ends with "On the Job: Solving a Communication Dilemma", a simulation that expands on the chapter-opening vignette. Students are asked to solve the dilemma by applying principles in the text, by making decisions about the communication process, and by selecting the best alternative from the choices offered. A "Behind the Scenes" section in each chapter features an interview with an accomplished business communicator at an actual company such as Federal Express or Parker Pen. Abundant checklists provide clear, concise guidelines for writing, and help students organize their thinking. New to this edition are: dozens of real-company memo- and letter-writing cases - including companies like Volvo and Xerox; and an updated gallery of full colour photographs with instructive captions contains advice from professionals who share their secrets of successful communication, including John Sculley (Apple Computers), Jane Pauley (NBC News), and Boris Yeltsin (President of Russia). Additionally available are: Instructor's Manual (0-07-006868-2); Test Bank (0-07-006869-0); CTB-IBM 5 1/4" (0-07-834113-2); CTB-IBM 3 1/2" (0-07-834114-?); CTB-MAC (0-07-834115-9); Acetates (0-07-074317-7).

Only One Text Gives Students Experience "On the Job"
Each chapter opens with an exclusive feature, "On the job: FACING A COMMUNICATION DILEMMA." This slice-of-life vignette summarizes a communication problem being faced by an actual company, such as American Express, Home Depot, the U.S. Mint, Patagonia, and Dell Computer. The solution to the dilemma is found in the concepts presented in the chapter, and the featured company reappears from time to time throughout the chapter to dramatize the connection between chapter principles and life on the job.
But we don't stop there. Each chapter ends with another exclusive feature, "On the job: SOLVING A COMMUNICATION DILEMMA." These simulations expand on the chapter-opening dilemma and are set within the featured company. Students are asked to solve situational problems by applying the principles discussed in the text, by making decisions about the communication process, and by selecting the best alternatives from the choices offered.
Not only do these simulations give students the opportunity to practice real-world decision making, they also tie the textual information to real-life examples, providing a concrete basis for analyzing the chapter principles. This feature provides a dimension of reality unmatched by other textbooks in the field.
New Features in This Edition A Greater Emphasis on Process and Product
We have reorganized the material in many of the text's chapters into a series of three easy-to-follow steps: planning, writing, and completing business messages. Students will `appreciate this practical strategy for solving 'communication problems and creating well-crafted communication products. The three-step process is explained in detail (Chapters 4-6) before it is applied to specific types of business messages: letters, memos, and e-mail messages (Chapters 7-9); reports and proposals (Chapters 10-12), and speeches and oral presentations (Chapter 13). The three-step writing process even serves as the framework for writing employment messages (Chapters 14-15).
Writing for the Web
Writing for the Web is quite different from writing for print, so anyone who wants to be an effective Web writer must learn new skills. Discussed briefly in Chapters 1 and 4, writing for the Web is covered more fully in Chapter 5, which also includes a checklist. In addition, an "Effective E-Business Communication" feature is included in each chapter of the text. Using real company Web pages as examples, these features present important Web-writing guidelines and include two discussion questions. Topics include:
- Get to the Point–Quickly (Southwest Airlines)
- Calling a Meeting in Cyberspace (WebEx)
- Putting the World in the Web (REI)
- Design Messages for Easy Navigation (UPS)
- Annual Reports in Cyberspace (Compaq)
- Speeches That Live On and On (Sears)
Special Feature Sidebars
Boxed and strategically placed within each chapter, special-feature sidebars extend the chapter material. We've included discussion questions at the end of each special feature to give students numerous opportunities to analyze business communication principles and practices. These special features center on four well-integrated themes:
Achieving Intercultural Communication: Tested techniques help students communicate successfully in the global arena and in the culturally diverse business world at home. Cultural issues are well explored in special features such as:
- Test Your Intercultural Knowledge
- Communicating with a Global Audience on the Web
- Good Ways to End Bad News Around the World
Promoting Workplace Ethics: By examining critical ethical issues that face business communicators in today's workplace, students gain instruction on how to identify areas of ethical vulnerability, how to steer clear of ethical perils, and when to seek ethical advice. Special features include a wide range of topics such as:
- Spin Cycle: Deciphering Corporate Doublespeak
- Recommendation Letters: What's Right to Write?
- Inflating Your R�sum�: Is It Worth the Risk?
Sharpening Your Career Skills: Practical pointers and confidence-building guidelines help students improve their writing and speaking skills. Special features help students strengthen their career skills by exploring such topics as:
- Beating Writer's Block: Nine Workable Ideas to Get Words Flowing
- How to Proofread Like a Pro
- Interview Strategies: Answering the 16 Toughest Questions
Using the Power of Technology: Specific techniques offer students guidance for using technological applications to improve business communication. Special features present a well-balanced selection of technological topics, including:
- Elements of Cyberstyle
- Spam: Putting a Lid on It
- Netting a Job on the World Wide Web
Streamlined and Reorganized Text
This edition streamlines and reorganizes the text, reducing the number of regular chapters from 18 to 15, making it easier to cover the entire text in one term. Material previously covered in Chapters 1 and 2 has been combined into Chapter 1. The chapter on writing direct requests has been combined with the chapter on writing routine, good-news, and goodwill letters—shortening the letter-writing chapters from four to three. The discussion of interpersonal communication skills such as listening and working in teams has been expanded and moved to Chapter 2. And the discussion of the writing process now begins one chapter earlier.
Trademark Features — All Updated for This Edition Up-to-Date Internet Resources
The World Wide Web contains a wealth of valuable resources. To acquaint students with Web sites that relate to the content of Excellence in Business Communication, each chapter includes a Going Online feature that describes an especially useful Web site.
Students can access the site by using the URL provided or by visiting the Web site for this text (www.prenhall.com/thill), where live links take students straight to the site of their choice.

Gallery o f Business Communication Professionals Another unique feature of this text is the inclusion of full-color photographs with incisive captions that focus on 30 highly successful communication professionals from business, industry, government, and the media. Among the new individuals featured are Meg Whitman (eBay), Martha Stewart (Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia), Gerald Levin (AOL Time Warner), Andrea Jong (Avon), Curly Fiorina (Hewlett-Packard), and Sherry Lansing (Paramount Studios).
Strategically placed in the margins throughout each chapter, these captions with accompanying photographs expand the amount of insight to be gained from this book. Each caption relates specifically to the text and adds a new dimension to student learning by giving a communication expert's view about a particular aspect of business communication.
Example After Example of Letters, Memos, E-Mail Messages, and Reports
This text contains outstanding examples of documents from numerous types of organizations and from people working in a variety of functional areas. Many of these documents are fully formatted, and some are presented on the letterhead of well known companies. Accompanying analyses help students see precisely how to apply the principles discussed in the text. Poor and improved examples illustrate common errors and effective techniques for correcting them.
The report-writing chapters give numerous examples too. And the last chapter of the report unit illustrates the step-by-step development of along report, which appears in its entirety to show how all the parts fit together.
Real-World Issues
The boundaries of business communication are always expanding. In addition to covering all the traditional subjects, Excellence in Business Communication, Fifth Edition, provides material to help students manage these important current sues in business communication:
Taking an ethical position in the face of pressures and temptations requires more than courage—it requires strong communication skill.
Communication Barriers. The shift toward a service economy means that more and more careers will depend on interpersonal skills, making it vital for people to overcome communication barriers. Cultural Diversity. The changing nature of the domestic work force requires strong communication skills to relate to older workers, women, members of various socioeconomic groups, immigrants, and others. Also, strong skills are needed to communicate effectively with people from other cultures. Communication Technology. More and more face-to-face interactions are giving way to interactions with and through computers. And this trend will continue. To survive in today's business world, students must master high-tech communication skills. Law. The increasing tendency of people to sue makes it important to understand the legal implications of written and oral communication. Employment Search. More and more people are making radical mid-career job changes, whether by choice or because their companies are downsizing and ^ , flattening hierarchies. These people need to master new communication skills to compete in today's job market. Communication Versatility. Small businesses create most of the new jobs and employ more people than large corporations do. Since these small businesses are unable to support communication specialists for specific jobs, people working for them need to be versatile in their communication skills. Real-World Competencies—SCANS Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills
Like no other business communication text, this edition emphasizes the skills and competencies necessary for students to make the transition from academia to the workplace. As described in the SCANS report from the Department of Labor, it is essential that students meet national standards of academic and occupational skill. To help accomplish the SCANS goal, this text offers a wide variety of interactive pedagogy (much of which is grounded in real-world situations).
Checklists
To help students organize their thinking when they begin a communication project, make decisions as they write, and check their own work, we've included numerous checklists throughout the book. In the Fifth Edition, we've streamlined and condensed them to increase their usefulness. Appearing as close as possible to the related discussion, these checklists are reminders, not "recipes." They provide useful guidelines for writing, without limiting creativity.
Documents for Analysis In this textbook we have provided a wide selection of documents that students can critique and revise. Documents include letters, memos and e-mail messages, a letter of application, and a r�sum�. This hands-on experience in analyzing and improving sample documents will help students revise their own business messages. In-Depth Critiques
You will find up-to-date sample documents, many collected in our consulting work. All In-Depth Critiques are introduced in the text (identifying the particular business situation being illustrated), and all are accompanied by margin comments that point to specific letter parts to help students see precisely how to apply the principles discussed in the text. Many samples are also accompanied by a three-step-writing-process graphic that gives students important insights into planning, writing, and completing the specific document shown.
Additional documents are displayed in text, some including poor and improved examples to illustrate common errors and active techniques for correcting them.
Exercises and Cases A wealth of new exercises and cases (almost all companies featured are real) provide assignments like those that students will most often face at work. Many of them are memo-writing and email tasks. New in the Fifth Edition, each exercise is labeled as to its type, such as "Team," "Ethical Choices," "Self-Assessment," or "Internet." The exercises and cases deal with all types and sizes of organizations, both domestic and international. Each chapter also includes exercises and cases that require access to the World Wide Web, giving students practice with this fast-growing communication technology.
The cases are yet another tool for demonstrating the role of communication in the business world. Examples include:
- Midnight mission: Thank-you letter at The Blue Marble Bookstore
- Reverse migration: Letter requesting letter of recommendation for "dot-com" dropout
- Tethered SwimCords: Letter to Italian sports retailer returning order
- Air rage fiasco: Letter requesting refund from British Airways
- Travel turnaround: E-mail message at Travelfest convincing your boss to expand client services
Learning Objectives
Chapter-opening learning objectives are clearly stated to signal important concepts that students are expected to master. In addition, the numbered objectives reappear in the text margins, close to the relevant material. Moreover, the end-of-chapter "Summary of Learning Objectives" reinforces basic concepts by capsulizing chapter highlights for students.
Margin Notes
To reinforce learning, the book's margins contain short summary statements that highlight key points of Excellence in Business Communication, Fifth Edition. These notes are no substitute for reading the chapters, but they help students quickly get the gist of a section, review a chapter, and locate areas of greatest concern.
End-of-Chapter Questions
The end-of-chapter questions (225) are divided into two types: Test Your Knowledge (review questions), and Apply Your Knowledge (application questions). One application question in each chapter focuses on ethics and is labeled "Ethical Choices."
The end-of-chapter questions are designed to get students thinking about the concepts introduced in each chapter. The questions may also prompt students to stretch their learning beyond the chapter content. Not only will students find them useful in studying for examinations, but the instructor may also draw on them to promote classroom discussion of issues that have no easy answers.
Appendixes
Excellence in Business Communication, Fifth Edition, contains four appendixes: Appendix A, "Format and Layout of Business Documents," discusses in one convenient place the formatting for all types of documents. Appendix B, "Documentation of Report Sources," gives basic guidelines for handling reference citations, bibliographies, and source notes. Appendix C, "Fundamentals of Grammar and Usage," is a primer in brief, presenting the basic tools of language. Appendix D, "Correction Symbols," provides convenient symbols for students to use when revising documents.
Indexes
To assist students and instructors in locating information as conveniently as possible, two types of indexes are included in the book: an Organization/Company/Brand Index and a Subject Index.
Book Design
This book's state-of-the-art design is based on extensive research and invites students to delve into the content. It also makes reading easier, reinforces learning, and increases comprehension. For example, the special features do not interfere with the flow of text material, a vital factor in maintaining attention and concentration. The design of this book, like much communication, has the simple objective of gaining interest and making a point.

Not too keen on this
By J Le
I don't know if it was the class or the text that made me dislike this subject. This subject seems to be in place because people are forgetting how to be professional and writing memos with "instant messenger" style grammar. Maybe this text book will help the new generation become more professional, or maybe it was a complete waste of my money.

Valuable for Grad and Undergrad in all majors
By Tom
This is a "Must Have" text. If your course requires this text, don't rent it. Definitely buy it. The resources alone are worth the price.
Valuable content for the business student, educator, or communication major. Real tips such as writing a letter, responding to negative situations such as downsizing, press releases, web communication, social media, and so much more. There are many business examples from the world' stop companies to enhance learning. Great text for the undergraduate as well as the graduate student.

Excellent Condition, Came in a Timely Manner
By Rachelle
I ordered two copies of this book on a Monday and by Thursday the box containing them was on my doorstep. I skimmed through the pages, and did not see any writing or highlighting despite the "used" condition. The only evidence that the books may have been used before is some very light marks on the cover and a slight bending of the bottom right corner. The price was certainly right as well -- in my school's bookstore, the books were over $160 apiece, and the used copies here were just about $20 each. Great price, great condition, and great shipping time. I definitely would recommend getting the book on Amazon.
