Prepare a two to three-page (not including cover page and reference page) paper outlining the planning process for a business communication you intend to create. There are three sections to your paper.
The first section should detail your purpose and audience analysis.
The second section should detail how you intend to satisfy the audience’s needs.
The third section should address any adaptations you may need to make to increase the effectiveness of your communication.
Your paper should be formatted according to APA standards, include a cover page and references page, and include at least two academic resources and the textbook counts as one also a biblical reference is needed. (I have included)
Only one outside resource must be added.
Biblical perspective and reference. (Needs to be integrated into paper)
Audience-focused communication is a Godly principle. Read in our Biblical Perspective how this Is made possible by an attitude of appreciation and humility.
1 Corinthians 2:12-15 “We have not seen the spirit of the world but the spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has truly given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the spirit, expressing spiritual truth in spiritual words. The man without the spirit does not accept the things that come from the spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man’s judgment.” (NIV 2011)
Textbook source reference:
“How you expect the audience to respond determines which strategy to use.” “Every business transaction is distinct. Some messages are mixed: part good news, part bad; part goodwill, part persuasion. (p. 66)
