You work for a company that is completely virtual; everyone telecommutes. Your
classmates are your “coworkers.” Your instructor is your “supervisor.”
Your supervisor thinks that employees at your company could do with some suggestions for
more effective business communication. Your supervisor has asked you to prepare a formal
report to be provided to all employees to act as a guidebook concerning a communication
issue and to prepare a presentation for all employees on the same subject as well.
Your report and presentation must explain both how and why to communicate effectively in
relation to your chosen topic. Choose ONE of the following topics and prepare a
formal report and presentation for that topic:
• Why and How to Write a Corporate Blog
• Interviews (Strategies for Interviewers of New Applicants)
• Conducting Meetings
• Presenting at a Conference
• Meeting Agendas and Minutes
• Providing Employee Reviews
• Writing a Reference Letter
• Hosting Webinars
• Creating Flyers
• Negotiation Skills
• Listening Skills
• Telephone Etiquette
• Conversation Skills
• Humor in the Workplace
• Avoiding Sexual Harassment in Communication
• Copyright Rules for Businesses
• Designing a Logo
• Newsletters
• International Written Communication
• International Interpersonal Communication
• Social Media Topic of Choice (Explain how and why to use a specific social media app
for business purposes.)
• Technology Topic of Choice (Explain how and why to use a specific technology tool,
such as Skype or Padlet, for business purposes) – Do not choose MS Word, Excel, or
PowerPoint
