MGT 368 Advanced Communication and Presentation Skills For Managers

One of the most important skills modern global managers need is the ability to communicate clearly, succinctly and effectively across multiple platforms and media, to multiple audiences. This course is an advanced presentation and communication skills class for future global managers. Students will develop and refine their oral, written and visual communication skills through practical, professional level exercises and assignments in a 'workshop-like' learning environment. This will include use of content writing, writing appropriate emails, the 'elevator pitch' for business ideas, and presenting a short 'Ted' like talk. Various on-line platforms and new media will be utilized in the course including slideshare, Wix, and others. The differences, and benefits, of Linear Presentation and Communication, and Non-Linear will be reviewed. A key focus in the course will be on communicating visually and digitally.
