Why should management student study business communication?
I am a student majoring in management and I have decided not to study business communication because my secretaries can handle my writing for me. Can I manage in this way? Any advice for me..
As the owner of a business writing company, and a professional writer, I agree with the previous answer. You have to be able to represent yourself well in writing if you are the "face" of your company. Little slips in the way you word things can have legal implications.
More importantly, however, being able to write well and get your meaning across clearly will help advance your career. You need to "sound" educated as well as BE educated in order to appear knowledgeable and competent. As an example, just think of how former President Bush's poor grammar and made-up words affected the global view of his intelligence.
Even if you have secretaries working for you, you will most likely still have to communicate in writing, through emails, texts, internal memos and professional letters. And, just as a business owner needs to know more about their business than their accountant or lawyer, you should know if grammar, spelling and tone is correct, rather than trusting your assistant to check. She or he may be wrong!
