前言
Students dont have to be convinced of the need for competent communicationskills. By the time they enter the business communication class, they knowenough about the business environment to appreciate the critical role commu-nication plays in the contemporary organization. Theyre also aware of the rolecommunication will play in helping them secure an internship or get a job and besuccessful at work. To sustain this inherent interest, students need a textbook that is current, fast-paced, and interesting——just like business itself. Thus, a major objective of Funda-mentals of Contemporary Business Communication is to present comprehensive cov-erage of real-world concepts in an interesting, lively, and concise manner. This edition of Fundamentals has been considerably revised to provide students with the slolls they needto communicate effectively in the complex and ever-changing contemporary work environment. The revi-sion was based on helpful feedback received from current users around the country (and, indeed, around theEnglish-speaking world), changes in the discipline, and changes in the workplace itself.

Health Foods was founded by Floyd Morales in 1994. The product was the first snack food to combine cheddar cheese and popcorn. Morales perfected the Health Foods recipe in his home kitchen after much trial and error. Health Foods sales were reportedly only $65,000 in 1995. During that time, the product was available only in the Midwest. By 1998, sales had soared to $12 million. This attracted the attention of Norton. The snack-food giant bought Health Foods in 1999 for $15 million. Since the purchase, Norton has not revised the popular Health Foods formula. It has used its marketing prowess to keep sales growing, despite the growing number of challengers crowding the market.
