Description from DukeHub
Building on the skill development and concepts from Business Communication 1, Business Communication 2 continues to focus on helping students learn to communicate clearly, strategically, persuasively, and collaboratively in professional business settings. This course gives students multiple opportunities to hone skills in team presentations where analysis and recommendations must withstand the challenges of audience members. Topics include presenting recommendations persuasively; presenting with one voice; using narrative structures to enhance coherence; asking and answering questions; team dynamics; and interpersonal communication. This course is for MMS: Foundations of Business students.
