Professional Project Communication

Catalog description

Builds on the important interpersonal skills that students learned in Management Communications core courses. It focuses on successful communication with executives and managers from outside the school who have agreed to act as project mentors. The communication project culminates in delivery of a fully professional and persuasive presentation to these decision makers. The course tests students' abilities to analyze an audience, align and adapt to the needs of that audience, influence the decision makers with written documents and oral discussions prior to the final presentation, and adapt to feedback and challenges throughout the term. Students polish the skills they are likely to use during summer internships and throughout their business careers. This course is for Daytime MBA and Accelerated Daytime MBA students.
