Abstract

The five faculty who created this adaptation of Professional Communications: A Common Approach to Work-place Writing (Adrienne Abel, Sydney Epps, Veronika Humphries, Sumita Roy, and Joseph Williams) worked together to create the overall learning outcomes and structure of the book, and each person wrote or adapted three of the fifteen chapters. Jeanne Pavy served as the project manager.

We would like to acknowledge the original text that this book is based on:
Professional Communications: A Common Approach to Work-place Writing by Melissa Ashman, Jordan Smith, Brian Dunphy, and Andrew Stracuzzi.

Throughout the adaptation, Canadian references were changed to American references, and American English was substituted for British spelling and phrasing. Broken external and internal links were deleted or replaced. Below are specific chapter-level edits and additions made by the authors of Strategies for Effective Business Communication:

This open textbook is designed to support students in Dual Enrollment Business and Professional Communication courses in Louisiana.
