MGT502 Assessment Help

Business communication can either be internal, within a business organisation, or external, between the  organisation and its existing and potential customers. This assessment supports students in developing  their skills and knowledge in selected business communication methods, including an examination of the  theoretical underpinnings of communication in business. 

This assessment has been designed to: 

• Appraise students’ ability to academically research and evaluate characteristics of effective  business communication. 
• Apply critical thinking skills utilising supporting evidence to justify arguments. 
• Students are expected to demonstrate practical understanding of application of business  communication skills and their importance in professional development.
