Business Discourse introduces a multidisciplinary approach to business communication, viewed as discourse, and its development as an international field of research and practice. It promotes debate and enquiry on several new and competing issues, emerging from fieldwork in a variety of business contexts, and combines teaching practice and state-of-the-art research and innovative practical applications. As well as illustrating new approaches to research projects aimed at the professional development of communication in business, it encourages practice-based research that readers can undertake independently.
