"To say that effective communication is a cornerstone of effective management is a considerable understatement. No matter how strong a person’s technical abilities may be, if they can’t communicate effectively then they might as well not have done the work.
I’ve been using this text for over a decade since I took Dr. Hynes’ course during undergraduate studies. Of all the texts in my library this is the one I reference the most. It is brilliantly organized, filled with real world examples, and, simply put, stunningly effective."
“This text provides an excellent combination of managerial theory with managerial communications.”
“Dr. Hynes has provided a wealth of information here that is well grounded in theory, yet is applied in a practical manner, and offered in a clear, understandable, relatable way. Beyond the classroom, the text could serve as an excellent guide for managers as they progress through their careers.”
"The book is indeed very practical. Recently, I finished a different communication course. The behavioral approach to managerial communication (explained in chapter one) is a wonderful description of that textbook. Communication seemed to require a new set of rules for every situation. I probably walked away with one good application. In contrast, this book has a realistic approach that helps me learn practical skills."
The text arrived after the decision date, unfortunately. The text used was less than satisfactory. I found Managerial Communication to be useful, with excellent examples and strong organization. When I next teach the course, I will adopt this book.
Excellent text and materials.
The layout of the book works perfectly with the subject material. The time and effort put into this book successfully displays a remarkable since of awareness, knowledge, and approach. The students will be able to learn from it and the material is very clear.
Broad coverage of topic--timely.
I would recommend this book to my Master as well as to my PhD students as a supplemental guide.
Clear and concise reading. Excellent case studies. Smooth reading
