Description

COMMUNICATION 1$ POWER

To a new generation that equates communication often with media and modern technologies, the author provides an answer, and a clear understanding of communication, linking it with such areas as psychology, philosophy, sociology, management, organizational and leadership skills. Other areas like business communication, time management, handling emotions etc too come into the text in as much as these are important to effective communication.

The book indeed is a revelation, the result of accumulated knowledge over the years, which could very well be used as a beginners’ text book in the mushrooming courses in communications in Indian universities, that lack genuine text books. Hope some university in the country discovers its value.
