Students will read, discuss, and respond in writing to articles and cases that address scenarios such as communicating to colleagues (memos, emails, letters, executive summaries), responding to managerial issues (staffing, policy changes), and writing for public consumption (blogging, communicating to shareholders). The course material will focus on achieving rhetorical effectiveness through a consideration of argumentation, style, tone, visual effectiveness as well as the development of a strategic writing process.
