Planning Process (1) Before drafting this document – Make sure to read/review all applicable Chapters 1, 16, 5, 6, 9, 10,11.  I encourage you to read and apply applicable content from all highlighted chapters.  (2) Read – Page 3-Why Does This Matter? And  Page 189- Communication Q &A. – After reading this information, think about reasons the content is crucial – specific to your declared business major – your career goals and skills required to improve your employment prospects. Think about the following three Critical Thinking Questions. What communication skills do employers identify as important for college graduates? What are the soft skills that graduates are missing in today’s business world?  What are the most important business communication skills that make a graduate a successful employee? (3) After completing numbers 1 & 2 (readings and reflections) – Conduct a self-assessment of your overall business communication skills – with emphasis on – your writing skills.  Think about writing principles you need to work on. Examples include but are NOT limited to: information outlined in the course’s textbook Chapters 5, 6, etc., or on page 191- Evaluation Exercises/Number 6.4.    (4) In reviewing your information from the above activities – focus on the following MAIN QUESTION:  What strategy can be applied to improve my business communication skills – writing skills?   Expected Outcome: Develop your own Individual Business Communication Development Plan (IBCDP).    (5) Now, *conduct research specific to your declared business major – pay attention to the number of articles within your declared major stating, “… communication skills, both verbal and written, are critical for employees.” [Note – The quoted statement is abbreviated from numerous secondary sources to underscore the importance of developing business communication skills.]  *Conducting Business Research – Use Business Source Complete- Go to W.I. Dykes Library https://www.uhd.edu/library/Pages/library-index.aspx  Click Databases – Under Library Databases –Click B-Scroll Down to Business Source Complete –Click and Start your research. (6) Select two articles that provide specific information about your declared business major focusing on business communications skills – writing skills – from credible business journals –scholarly and/or practitioner. DO NOT use websites, e.g. companies, organizations, and other such sources.  DO NOT use an article over five years old. DO NOT use your personal opinions. DO NOT use the course’s textbook as one of your articles. Instructions After completing the above activities and research – Based on your findings, draft a two-page business message in expanded letter format to your professor – Individual Business Communication Development Plan (IBCDP). Writing Tip: Chapter 5: LO5.4 Develop your primary message and key points in the AIM planning process. Reminder: must feature short paragraphs; and must include: sections with descriptive subheads, at least two visual enhancements (bulleted list, bold, italic, etc.). I.          Introduction – State the topic/reason for writing the letter Briefly describe your declared business major and state your career goals. HINT: You might want to explain your plan to establish credibility as a business professional within your declared business major. II.        Body- Describe findings from your self-assessment and research. Use this information to create your Individual Business Communication Development Plan (IBCDP).  The primary focus should be on developing your writing skills.  However, for contextual purposes, you should also briefly describe other business communication skills cited in your research sources –specific to your declared business major.  Writing Tips for the Body: Consider using the following information to identify goals for improvement and outlining your specific plans for achieving those goals.   WRITING 1 – Where am I now? Here you should explain in a brief paragraph your own self-assessment of your current status as a writer. What are your strengths? What are the general areas where you need improvement?   1A – Specific areas for improvement  Here you should list (e.g., in bulleted list form) two specific problem areas. *It is acceptable to use the correct names (e.g. planning, audience awareness, spelling, navigational design, etc.) for specific problem areas as listed in the course textbook (Chapters 5,6,9,10,11) OR as listed/named in journal articles.     2 – Where do I want to be? Here you should realistically address where you hope to be (before accepting an internship in your declared business major, before graduating, etc.) in terms of general areas and specifics.    3 – How will I get there? This is a key section. Detail your plan (e.g. use your research findings here specific to your declared business major) for achieving your writing goals. This section should include both general and specific plans. For example, your general plans could be such things as a promise to proofread every document including emails more carefully. Or it might be to set up appointments with a tutor. More specific plans might include taking a writing course recommended within your declared business major.   III.       Conclusion – Give a sense of closure/summary. State what was learned or the value of this research/IBCDP to you personally. In this brief concluding section, make “reality-based comments” that you deem to be applicable to your professional development. Remember that the IBCDP is not just a document for a grade in BA 3350; it is a customized plan for improving your business communication skills –emphasis on writing – with expected outcomes focusing on continuous improvement.  Required:  Make sure to use APA Documentation Style to format the in-text citations and references. *You can review APA formatting (In-Text Citations and References) – See course’s textbook page 412/Table 13.3 OR via the following link: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/   Include in the letter two in-text citations (APA format) from journal articles within your declared business major. *Use only “two” in-text citations in the body. DO NOTuse over three lines of the information from each article to complete your in-text citation in the body of the letter.

MODULE 1 DISCUSSION You must thoughtfully answer the following question in your original post: Discuss how the intercultural communication began and evolved historically as a field of study. Also, discuss how the work of E.T. Hall at the Foreign Service Institute left a lasting impact on the field of intercultural communication. Use the textbook, the Rogers and Steinfatt (1999), and Kim’s (2001) article to answer.   Then you must thoughtfully answer one of the following questions in your original post: (Please give the number to the question you are answering in the subject line of your post.) 1. Think of your most likely career choice. Describe a situation in which effective intercultural communication would be useful. Be sure to apply textbook ideas in your answer. For example, chapter 1 defines intercultural communication and culture. It explains how culture is transmitted through globalization and immigration, the presence of a dominant culture and co-cultures, and the dynamic, symbolic, and contextual nature of intercultural communication. How will these impact your career? 2. “It’s a small world” is more than just a cliché these days. What are some of the factors that have caused an increase in the interaction between different cultures? Cite the textbook.  3. Use an internet search engine and read a few articles about globalization. What is it? Does globalization mean we need to study intercultural communication? What are the communication implications of the “global village” or the “global economy?” (Remember to cite the internet article(s) you use to write your post.) 4. Compare and contrast international and domestic intercultural contact. How do the terms “dominant culture” and “co-culture” fit into the types of symbols and messages that are sent and received in international and domestic intercultural contact? How do “individual uniqueness,” “stereotyping,” and “objectivity” fit into the types of symbols and messages that are sent and received in international and domestic intercultural contact? Cite the textbook. 5. What is your definition of effective communication? How does your definition of effective communication relate to each of the functions of communication (gathering information, fulfilling interpersonal needs, establishing identity, influencing others, etc.) addressed in chapter 1? What role do dynamism, symbolism, and context play in the effective communication process? Can a person ever truly understand another person fully? 6. Explain the concept that communication is culture and culture is communication. Another way to think about this question is similar to the old chicken and egg question: which came first, the chicken or the egg? Which came first, communication or culture? And can one exist without the other? Cite the textbook. 7. Discuss each of five main themes of intercultural communication study. If you want to study intercultural communication area in the future, which theme (area) would be your interesting field of the study?Why? Discuss it. You must thoughtfully respond at least twice to your classmates or to me. Your response posts must add to the discussion.   To achieve a superior grade for discussions, each of the following components must be satisfied: The content of your original post must connect to unit theories and cite the textbook You must cite one additional source in addition to the textbook All posting and responding deadlines and minimum requirements must be met Please read the “grading rubric” so you know the specific criteria that will determine your grade
