Whatever course you are pursuing, whether you are an MBA or a BBA student, whether you are appearing at the B.Com. examination of some university, or whether you are enrolled with a professional body like ICSI, your ultimate success in your examination, or in your life later, will depend upon your communication skills. Intelligence, integrity, energy are all important ? they are indispensable qualities ? but they will always remain subservient to interpersonal skills ? your ability to relate with others, to communicate with others. This is what Essentials of Business Communication aims at teaching you. So, we are not merely giving you a book, we are giving you a friend, who will ever remain with you ? to smoothen the journey of your life.
