Description: Do you struggle to get your students to read 700-page textbooks while you try to fit an ever-expanding array of topics into your limited class time? Bovée and Thill’s Business in Action offers full, 20-chapter coverage like other leading textbooks, but does so with a high-efficiency format that is 20 percent shorter. The secret to this student-friendly approach is the concept of Exhibits That Teach. Business in Action has more than 150 unique diagrams and quick-reference tables that present vital concepts more efficiently and more effectively than long, intimidating blocks of text. Business in Action covers all the fundamentals you expect but also continues to lead the way with unique topical coverage and new ways to address important subjects. Mobile communication and connectivity are revolutionizing business, and Chapter 1’s discussion of the technological environment explains why mobile is such a disruptive technology. Aspects of mobile are integrated throughout the 8th Edition, from job search apps to mobile commerce to security and privacy concerns. With the spread of contingent workforces, talent markets, virtual organizations, and the “gig economy,” many of today’s graduates will spend some or perhaps all their careers working outside traditional organizational structures. They will need to define their personal brands and take greater responsibility for their professional growth. Business in Action helps them understand this new world of work and how they can prepare themselves to succeed in it. The rise of social media has redefined the relationships between companies and their stakeholders, and marketing communication is a great example of this fundamental shift. Companies that cling to the old 4P’s idea of unidirectional promotion are out of sync with today’s social marketplace, where consumers demand to be active participants in a free-flowing conversation about products, brands, and the companies behind them. Business in Action replaces the outdated concept of promotion with the new social communication model that reflects show today’s successful companies interact with customers.   Each chapter is divided into six concise segments, each with its own Learning Objective. Each segment focuses on the most essential concepts and terminology to help students achieve that particular objective before moving on. The consistent structure simplifies course planning and class time allocation for instructors, and it helps students organize their reading, review, and test preparation. Each chapter segment concludes with a comprehensive Checkpoint that helps students review and reinforce what they’ve learned in manageable doses, rather than reviewing an entire chapter at once. With this approach, each learning objective is addressed as a mini-chapter within the chapter, which helps students absorb new concepts in small, carefully metered segments and get confirmation before moving on to the next segment. Together, the six Checkpoints in a chapter also make an ideal test-prep tool for students: They can simply skim the Checkpoints in succession for a quick refresher on chapter concepts and key terms. The unique Real-Time Updates service is yet another way Business in Action provides more value for you and your students. This system, developed by the authors and available free to all adopters and their students, provides regular content updates linked to the material in the textbook, including interactive websites, presentations, online videos, and articles. Simply visit the Real-Time Updates website whenever you need fresh lecture material—or get new items delivered to you automatically. Media resources are also integrated into the fabric of every chapter. “Learn More” media items connect students with dozens of carefully selected resources that provide contemporary examples, best practices from innovative companies, and insights from successful professionals. Many of them will help students hone their job search skills, too.

Description: What's New in Teaching Business Communication? Students Should Use This Technique to Be Successful in Getting a Job - Expert Speaker: Courtland Bovee Students will have multiple opportunities to plan and refine their personal brand during the time they take a business communication course using a Bovee and Thill text. For example, Chapter 8 offers tips on business applications of social media, which are key to personal branding, and our employment communication chapters guide students through the process of creating a résumé, building a network, and presenting themselves in interviews. Now, to give you an overview, here is what we teach students about a successful personal branding strategy: ● Figure out the "story of you." Simply put, where have you been in life, and where are you going? ● Clarify your professional theme. Volvos, BMWs, and Cadillacs can all get you from Point A to Point B in safety, comfort, and style—but each brand emphasizes some attributes more than others to create a specific image in the minds of potential buyers. ● Reach out and connect. Major corporations spread the word about their brands with multimillion-dollar advertising campaigns. You can promote your brand for free or close to it. ● Deliver on your brand's promise—every time, all the time. When you promote a brand, you make a promise—a promise that whoever buys that brand will get the benefits you are promoting. Bovee and Thill textbooks teach students about personal branding -- in an intensive prologue in the front of each of our texts, as well as in the two employment chapters. We urge you to give your students the competitive edge by teaching them about personal branding using the exclusive coverage found only in Bovee and Thill textbooks.

Description: What's New in Teaching Business Communication? Adapting Persuasive Message Skills to Social Media - Expert Speaker: Courtland Bovee The AIDA model and similar approaches have been successful with marketing and sales messages for decades, but in the social media landscape, consumers are more apt to look for product information from other consumers, not the companies marketing those products. Consequently, today's business communicators need new skills to encourage and participate in these online conversations. Following these guidelines will help students adapt what they're learning in the course to the new realities of promotional communication.

Description: What's New in Teaching Business Communication? Two Approaches to a New Textbook Topic. -- Expert Speaker: Courtland Bovee The textbooks that Bovee and Thill write lead the field in their coverage of visual media, and for the first in any business communication text, they've included a section on infographics. Infographics are a special class of diagrams that can convey both data as well as concepts or ideas. In addition, they contain enough visual and textual information to function as independent, standalone documents. They've become a staple of online communication in recent years and are becoming important business communication tools in such areas of process design, training, and even résumés. Broadly speaking, there are two types of infographics, those that are stylized collections of charts or graphs, and those that have a structured narrative. The first types, represented here by Figure 9.15a, from Business Communication Today, 12th Edition, don't necessarily convey any more information than basic charts and graphs in a conventional report would, but their communication value lies in their ability to catch the audience's attention and the ease with which they can be distributed online. The second type, represented by Figure 9.15b go beyond this to take full advantage of the visual medium to tell stories or show interconnected processes. These infographics can be powerful communication tools, even to the point of replacing conventional reports. In Business Communication Today, 12th Edition, students can also learn about the tools for preparing infographics. You can make it possible for your students to learn about data visualization and infographics only by adopting a Bovee and Thill business communication textbook.

Description: What's New in Teaching Business Communication? A New Organizing Model for Business Messages -- Expert Speaker: Courtland Bovee Storytelling might seem like an odd subject for a business communication course, but narrative techniques can be an effective way to organize messages in a surprising number of business situations. Storytelling can also be used for so many things—from training employees to enticing investors and customers. Storytelling is such a vital means of communicating that it's hard to imagine one's career going anywhere without the ability to tell a story. Fortunately, students have been telling stories all their lives, so narrative techniques already come naturally to them; now it's just a matter of adapting those techniques to business situations. Students have also been on the receiving end of numerous business stories. Storytelling is one of the most common structures used in television commercials and other advertisements. People love to share stories about themselves and about others, too, which makes social media ideal for storytelling. Many companies now use Facebook's timeline feature to create visual stories of their founding and early years. Entrepreneurs use stories to help investors see how their new ideas have the potential to affect people's lives (and therefore generate lots of sales). Stories can be cautionary tales as well, dramatizing the consequences of career blunders, ethical mistakes, and strategic missteps. A key reason storytelling can be so effective is that stories help readers and listeners imagine themselves living through the experience of the person in the story. Encourage your students to consider adding an element of storytelling whenever their main idea involves the opportunity to inspire, to persuade, to teach, or to warn readers or listeners about the potential outcomes of a particular course of action. Your students can learn the skill of storytelling from textbooks by Bovee & Thill. No other business communication texts on the market cover storytelling as an organizing model.

Description: What's New in Teaching Business Communication? Visual Media Chapter Adds A Powerful Medium -- Expert Speaker: Courtland Bovee This video discusses an important medium that has now, for the first time, been integrated into a business communication text's visual media chapter. Video has become a core business medium. In fact, one could argue that video is almost as revolutionary as social media, given how many business messages that were once delivered in written format are now delivered via video. And just as document design, presentation slides, web writing, and other tasks moved out of the specialist realm and became mainstream skill expectations, many employees are now expected to be able to do basic video work for training courses, product demos, video news releases, customer service, and other routine applications. With companies such as Zappos encouraging video uploads from job applicants, video could become significant in employment communication as well. Just as Courtand Bovee and John Thill were the first business communication authors to cover social media, they now once again lead the way in new topic coverage by adding a unique section on video production as part of Chapter 9, Visual Media, in their text, Business Communication Today, 13th Ed. It guides students through preproduction, production, and post production, with simple hands-on advice at each stage. Students can learn even more about video production by visiting a website described in one of the book's Learn More features that offers a wealth of advice on producing quality videos. As more and more companies rely on video for internal and external communication, learning some basic video skills will make students more effective and more valuable communicators. You are strongly encouraged to include video production as part of your full-spectrum business communication course. Business Communication Today, 13th Edition, would be the ideal text for you to use, because it's the only business communication text that offers coverage of business video.

Description: What's New in Teaching Business Communication? Present This Overlooked Topic to Give Your Students the Competitive Edge -- Expert Speaker: Courtland Bovee Students have been communicating their entire lives, of course, but if they don't have a lot of work experience yet, meeting the expectations of a professional environment might require some adjustment. Therefore, we've included a section on "Communicating as a Professional," as well as a series of sidebars with the theme, "The Art of Professionalism" in Business Communication Today, 13th Edition. It means doing more than putting in the hours and collecting a paycheck: True professionals go beyond minimum expectations and commit to making meaningful contributions. To help students grasp this in a way they apply to their own work lives, we break professional down into six distinct traits. A key message for students to glean from this list is how much these elements of professionalism depend on effective communication. For example, to be a team player, you have to be able to collaborate, resolve conflicts, and interact with a wide variety of personalities. Without strong communication skills, you won't be able to perform to your potential—and others won't recognize you as the professional you'd like to be. Bovee and Thill also identify the skills employers will expect students to have, the nature of communication in an organizational environment, and the importance of adopting an audience-centered approach. In Business Communication Today, 13th Edition, "The Art of Professionalism" is a new sidebar theme throughout the bookstudents will learn about maintaining a confident, positive outlook.

Description: What's New in Teaching Business Communcation? Teach Your Students the Modern Slide Design That Many Presentation Specialists Now Advocate -- Expert Speaker: Courtland Bovee The complaint of "death by PowerPoint" is often voiced by audiences forced to sit through screen after screen of overstuffed bullet-point slides. But presentations don't need to be so dull. As students learn in Bovee and Thill texts, the most important design decision for a presentation is whether to use conventional structured slides or the looser, free-form slides that many presentation specialists now advocate. If the text you're currently using is teaching only conventional bullet-point slide design, it isn't preparing students for the expectations of today's workplace.

Description: Business in Action offers instructors a much-needed alternative to texts that are either overstuffed and overwhelming or so skimpy that they compromise essential coverage. With full 20-chapter coverage, including dedicated chapters on employee motivation, customer communication, financial markets, and banking, it has the same scope as other comprehensive texts while being up to 20 percent shorter. There is no filler and no fluff, and the examples were chosen carefully to illustrate important points, without overloading the text. We invite you to do side-by-side comparisons with any other business text to see which one will make the best use of your students’ limited time and energy for studying. Visual Learning for a New Generation of Students Business in Action takes efficiency and student-friendly design to an entirely new level, with more than 150 Exhibits That Teach. These unique diagrams, infographics, and other exhibits address the challenge of getting students to read long passages of text by presenting vital concepts visually. The emphasis throughout is on productive learning—on helping students minimize the time they spend reading while maximizing the learning outcome. This value-added approach to visuals is in sharp contrast to books that try to entertain students with decorative photos, cartoons, or fractured page designs that disrupt the flow of reading and thereby force students to spend even more time reading. Objective-Driven Design with Information Chunking and Interim Checkpoints Each chapter is divided into six concise segments, each focused on its own learning objective and offering a comprehensive checkpoint to help students review and reinforce what they’ve learned. With this approach, each learning objective is addressed almost as a mini-chapter within the chapter, letting students pace their intake and memorization, rather than having to review an entire chapter at once. The consistent six-part structure also simplifies course planning and class time allocation for instructors, and it helps students organize their reading, review, and test preparation.
