Review
'English for Business Communication is full of interesting and varied awareness-raising activities concerning both style and cultural differences.' BESIG Newsletter Winter 97/98

'It is a useful resource book, easily dipped into, and useful for either stimulating discussion, looking at the importance of style (i.e. formal, informal, direct, neutral, warm, distant etc, ), or presenting the language necessary for operating in the various skills areas. The format is traditional, although the subject is not, so it creates a feeling of security in students used to a prescriptive approach. Worth adding to the Business English shelf.'
