From the Author
The working world is flooded with information, much of it electronic, yet still we have to get our messages across; clearly concisely and convincingly. My aim in writing this book was to cover all of the main 'channels' of communication used by those working in commercial, public and voluntary sector organisations. The text is in two sections, the first covering general principles of communication and the second, their practical application. This structure allows readers to use the book in whatever way best suits their requirements. Numerous real life case studies, including BT, Ikea and Oxfam illustrate the importance of effective communication at work. I hope that these, along with the many practical exercises and 'discussion points', make for an interesting and useful learning experience for students and for those already working in organisations.
Your comments on this text would be very welcome. Please get in touch directly by email, or via the publisher. A free Instructors Manual is also available for tutors.

'This book provides excellent coverage of the topics we address, such as meetings, presentations, negotiation, and other key communication skills. I believe that these skills are essential for undergraduates entering the business world and have no hesitation in recommending 'Effective Business Communication' as a core text.'
KEN RABEY, SCHOOL OF COMPUTING, STAFFORDSHIRE UNIVERSITY
'Recognising from the outset that effective communication lies at the heart of competitive advantage, 'Effective Business Communication' will be of interest to a range of consumers, from the NVQ Management student or the first year undergraduate, to the A Level or Advanced GNVQ Business teacher (or able student), who wishes to augment or update notes. Blundel centres his lively and readable account on people and their interactions.'

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to CONTINENTAL MEDIA & BEYOND, Ocala, Florida, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
