Communication is a process by which information is exchanged between
individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior. How
do we exchange this information? We communicate by listening, speaking,
reading, writing, body language, and observing. The manner in which we
communicate may determine the outcome of the communication process. In this
course, you will discover all of the ways people communicate in today's
business environment. In the last several decades, the world has witnessed
an information revolution. The revolution was made possible because of a
dramatic improvement in technology. E-mail, voice mail, palm-sized computers,
computer networking, and the Internet have all contributed to the creation of
the virtual office. The 3D animations in this course take the concept of a
