May 7th, 2014 To: Heather Bowen Ray From: Anqi Shen Subject: Communication Trends Report As your requested, I have investigated current communication trend in business field. Business communication plays a giant role in a corporation’s day-to-day activities such as checking emails and corresponding to any important message. The evolution of email Business today, highly competitive market in which high-speed communication and information transfer is essential. Email has evolved as an effective, low-cost and instant method of communication with coworkers all over the world. With e-mail, messages are keyed into a computer workstation and then transmitted to the recipient. A single message may be sent simultaneously to many recipients. The challenges of business email communication Effects-- The challenge for any businessperson is to think clearly about the content of the email message he is about to send and the unintended consequences of the information ending up in the wrong in-box. Time Frame--Sometimes an email message gets clogged in the "system" and is not delivered for hours or sometimes even days from the time it was sent. You expect almost immediately delivery, but that is not always the case. Accurate date and time stamping can alleviate part of this problem. Considerations--Email was designed to enhance communications by making it faster and more to the point. But printing email messages on the company printer defeats this purpose. The "paperless" office is a long way off if too many employees insist on keeping paper files of all the email messages they send or receive. Warning--Email has made it easy to be lazy. Expert Insight-- Even the most succinct email communication will need clari... ... middle of paper ... ...bullets T – Tidy up long sentences T – Take a pride in your finished message E – Ensure everything is right before you hit ‘send’ The future of business email communication Yes, email is being supplanted for some types of communication. But that’s to be expected. It’s progress. We have more choices for how to communicate these days, and can cherry-pick the best method for the task at hand. This doesn’t mean email is dying. It simply means that the communication ecosystem has expanded. The basic messaging format probably won’t change significantly, there are plenty of ways to build on top of email and make it more useful, especially use fancy tools. Such as Gmail’s Priority Inbox feature helps users to filter out their most important messages. While email itself won’t change, the tools we use for working with email will get much more sophisticated and powerful.
Moving paper from the printer to the envelope does nothing to add value to business. It costs both time and money. Postage, printing and personnel costs keep increasing and adding to bottom line. Twenty years ago, there was the promise of “ The Paperless Office" and it is a promise that will probably never come to fruition. Since the mid-1980’s, paper clutter has expanded exponentially on the average desk. (http://www.FutureTechConsulting.com/) Not on original Reference Pg.

Despite the fact that, as Shakespeare said, "the pen is mightier than the sword," the pen itself is not enough to make an effective writer. Everyone writes differently, whether it’s with the way they punctuate, the way they take notes, their word choice, or just simply by their tone. Professional writes from all over that write about how to write must know something about it. In the four essays that we read as a class, they explained prewriting and planning, drafting, revising and editing (P.D.R.E), and how it is a good format for writers to follow when writing an essay.
This would affect the employee’s effectiveness in his work where this would lead to other barriers like a lack of communication where this would make the employee to feel angry and frustrated because of the email that was sent. The ways the barrier can be overcome is by not sending such emails and speak to the employee face to face or by telephone where tis would make the employee to feel that they are surer what is being said instead of relying on technology to make sense on what the other employees are saying.
In addition to regular email, pagers can be programmed to receive important emails, or notices of emails in one's mailbox. Cell phones can also be programmed to receive email messages, and also notification of pending emails.
Electronic Mail, a means of communication that is growing at a very rapid rate. In this paper, I will write about introduction of e-mail, the advantage and disadvantage of e-mail, mailing lists, sending an e-mail message, sending attachments, e-mail improvement, and security features. Introduction of Electronic Mail Electronic mail (E-mail) has become popular and easy way of communication in this decade. E-mail is a method of sending and receiving document or message from one person to another. E-mail is not only replacement for postal mail and telephones, and also it is a new medium. E-mail send plain text, images, audio, spreadsheets, computer programs can attach to an e-mail message. Using the e-mail, you must have a computer on a network. The computer must require a modem and phone line. Sending and receiving e-mail needs an e-mail program. Every e-mail user requires an e-mail address. This e-mail address is similar to a postal address. E-mail address is written as username@domain, for instance, PCLEE@juno.com. The username is used for sending and receiving e-mail.
Lack of Sensitivity to Receiver. A failure in effective communication may result when a message is not received by its receiver. Identifying the receiver’s needs, status, knowledge of the subject, and language skills assists the sender in preparing a successful message.
There is no doubt that the present time is the Technology era when the use of technological inventions dominates all different aspects of life: computer, cellular phones, world wide web, radio and satellites. That is, technological inventions have improved. Storing information, sending and receiving messages, electronic governments, distance education, health services and business. With the intervention of Information Technology, the means of communication in business which is a very important field in modern societies including banking, shares market, marketing, trading has been intensely changed. This essay will argue that Information Technology has positively changed communication in the business world. Information Technology implications have enhanced the ways businesses communicate in business areas including marketing, stock market, shopping and banking.
Communication is important in life. Companies need to communicate with other companies and customers. The managers also need to communicate with the staff. The technology provides us with many means of communication, the most important of which is e-mail.
The speed in which the mail is transported is an important factor in sending mail by either E-mail or the postal system. E-mail easily has the leading edge in this field. With a click of a button, a message can be sent and received in a few seconds to several minutes. Whether you are sending E-mail to someone next door or across the world, the time it takes to send the message is usually the same. Data files can be easily sent to someone over E-mail; unfortunately, the larger the file is in size, the longer it will take to send and receive the E-mail. Data files can be mailed to people using the postal system if the data is copied to a floppy disk or a compact disc. The postal service can send any kind of package, from a simple letter to a computer, for a price depending on its size weight, and desired shipping speed. The speed of the postal service is a problem though. A single letter can ta...
As in all aspects of personal and professional life, having effective communication is a key element of success. Effective communication can benefit your relationships with people. By conveying your message and integrating them as a member of the team and not just a subordinate leads to better production. By effectively communicating you can clearly define job responsibilities and expectations. The better you are able to communicate the less likely organizational turnover of personnel will occur. Supervisors and leaders in the professional workplace find that the most important factor in advancement and retain ability is effective communication. Senior level executives and human resources managers are stressing the importance of communication and providing more training for mid-level management. Emphasis is placed on communication being clear by being transmitted strongly.
Business communication is communication that promotes a product, service, or organization; relays information within a business; or functions as an official statement from a company.
Email (electronic mail) was one of the biggest breakthroughs in communication when the internet was commercialized. With email, it became possible to send messages and letters across the world in a matter of seconds to the recipients address. Email was used as an alternative to conventional mail or snail' mail, as the term was introduced to describe its speed. As technology improved, it became possible to attach' documents, photographs and even sound clips or songs to emails which made mail by post redundant. Emails used packet switching software whereby the email was broken down into packets' and sent via the internet to the recipient.
The newest web based email service, which has gained more attention than most, is Gmail [1]from Google.com. Google currently hosts the most popular Internet search engine world wide. Google proposes to deploy a unique email service that will give users capability not available with other providers; most importantly 1GB of email storage space. Gmail will use Google’s sophisticated search technology to perform searches on a person’s email saved in their account. This searching feature allows a user to quickly locate and display relevant information from a previous email and not spend time scrolling through long lists of messages in email folders.
