Managerial Communication: Strategies and Applications focuses on skills and strategies that managers need in today's workplace.

In the Sixth Edition, author Geraldine E. Hynes preserves the book's key strengths while reflecting the realities of the contemporary workplace. Each chapter has been reorganized to enhance student learning and the content has been updated to spotlight best practices for managers.

About this title

Review

"To say that effective communication is a cornerstone of effective management is a considerable understatement.  No matter how strong a person’s technical abilities may be, if they can’t communicate effectively then they might as well not have done the work.     

I’ve been using this text for over a decade since I took Dr. Hynes’ course during undergraduate studies.  Of all the texts in my library this is the one I reference the most.  It is brilliantly organized, filled with real world examples, and, simply put, stunningly effective."   (Ted Craver)

“This text provides an excellent combination of managerial theory with managerial communications.” (Marcel M. Robles)

“Dr. Hynes has provided a wealth of information here that is well grounded in theory, yet is applied in a practical manner, and offered in a clear, understandable, relatable way. Beyond the classroom, the text could serve as an excellent guide for managers as they progress through their careers.” (Nancy Schullery, Ph.D.)

"The book is indeed very practical. Recently, I finished a different communication course. The behavioral approach to managerial communication (explained in chapter one) is a wonderful description of that textbook. Communication seemed to require a new set of rules for every situation. I probably walked away with one good application. In contrast, this book has a realistic approach that helps me learn practical skills."
