The very best bring more than a command of messaging and tactics; they offer genuine insight about the business. This book should be the first thing every aspiring communicator reads. It contains the defining lessons on how to earn trust, credibility, and respect." -Bill McDermott, Chief Executive Officer, SAP "The days when people in strategic communication could get by without understanding financial numbers is long gone, and this book is the prime tool for teaching them what they need to know." -Chris Roush, Senior Associate Dean and Walter E.

More than ever, it's essential for the communications objectives to be tied directly to the business objectives of the organization and it's impossible to correctly make that connection without knowing the essentials of business operations. Ragas and Culp have captured not just the 'nice to have' knowledge, but the really impactful knowledge needed by any communications professional who truly wants to create shared value for the organization and its stakeholders. This is a 'must have' book for any communicator's personal bookshelf." -Bob 'Pritch' Pritchard, PRSSA 2011-2015 National Faculty Adviser and Faculty Adviser, University of Oklahoma, USA "At last!

It takes them through a range of business topics that are vital for success in the changing world of work. Written by two former business communication professionals, the book explains key issues such as understanding financial statements, the stock market, and corporate social responsibility.
