<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by whereswally</i><br/>If you want help with your homework, at least have a try and then ask for feedback.  </p>
<p>If this isn&#8217;t just homework, then you need to give more detail.</p>
<p>Folk who have done the hard yards to learn this stuff are more likely to help you if you show that you&#8217;re not just being lazy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by Sandra E</i>: How to obtain a Bachelor&#8217;s Degree in Business Communication, starting from Community College?</strong><br />
Greetings, I am from Sweden,</p>
<p>I would like to study at a _California community college_ for 2 years and afterwards transfer to an accredited college (In California) to be able to obtain a bachelors degree in Business Communication. </p>
<p>Which community college should I look into? What are my options? </p>
<p>So, bottom line is, I aim for a Bachelor&#8217;s degree in Business Communication in California.   </p>
<p>Any help would be deeply appreciated. </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by drip</i><br/>You can check into CC in CA.(see site below) I live in IL and our CC do not have dorms. You may have to find your own housing and in CA it is very high priced.<br />
At CC you would take your general education classes. Those classes everyone has to take regardless of your major. Then apply and transfer over to a four year college. </p>
<p>Why CA? If you want hot, try Arizona, Texas, Florida. For the beach add on all east coast schools. Sorry just don&#8217;t think CA is all that great. There are lots of different options- the US is huge.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Importance Of Business Communication &#8211; Communication Tips</strong></p>
<p>What is communication? Communication, in simple terms, is signalling. It is the transmission of information which evokes understanding by way of speaking, writing, or even gestures.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.effectivecommunicationtips.org/?referer=');javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link/1944390']);" href="http://www.effectivecommunicationtips.org/">Click Here to Learn How to Communicate Effectively!</a></p>
<p>In business, reputation and credibility need to be built up in order to get the clients&#8217; trust and confidence. Having a sense of professionalism will bring a lot to the business, especially in a long term relationship with employees and clients. This is where the importance of business communication comes into play. Success of any business lies in effective communication. The more effective the communication is, the better the results are. Communication is effective when it produces desired action in the reader or audience.       </p>
<p>          ]]&gt;</p>
<p>Effective communication is essential for the survival and progress of a business concern. In fact successful communication is the foundation of a pleasant relationship between the seniors and subordinates, between the workers and the management, and between the customers and the sellers. Good and efficient system of communication helps in better coordination and efficient control.  It results in clear understanding, good production, and a healthy climate within the organization.</p>
<p>Business communication encompasses not only communicating with external contacts but also with employees within the organization. This will aid the business in being well-organized. Effective business communication requires a manager to motivate employees, to challenge employees, and to provide recommendations and feedback in order to increase efficiency and effectiveness in the business.</p>
<p>The ability to communicate effectively is an essential quality of a businessman. A person may be intelligent, but then again, he may not be able to get his message across to others. Ideas are generally common but the ability to convey them to others is rare. Knowing how to communicate effectively both orally and in writing is an asset for the communicator. Through successful correspondence, he leads his business to success.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Passive Income Business Opportunities &#8211; A Fool Proof Wealth-Building Method to Financial Security</strong></p>
<p> are highly sought after, and believe it or not, passive income ideas are not hard to come up with. And because of our sick economy, (which has left 50 million people world wide jobless) finding a way to earn <a rel="nofollow" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/alternativeincomesources.com/supplement-your-income/?referer=');javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link/2954493']);" href="http://alternativeincomesources.com/supplement-your-income/">supplemental income </a>or a way to replace a six figure income is on the minds of millions, from Charlotte the housewife to Cindy the CEO no one&#8217;s exempted. Read below as we offer a few ways you side step financial destitute to create financial security.</p>
<p>Write a book. When you write a book and get it published, you continue to get money every time your book is purchased. Some people are very successful going this route and end up being set for life. Remember, however, that writing a book is time consuming and there&#8217;s no guarantee that it will become popular or even that you will get published.      </p>
<p>          ]]&gt;</p>
<p>Buy Real Estate. If you can snag a good property, you can rent it out and make a very consistent recurring income profit every month in the form of a rent check. Of course, you&#8217;ll need some capital, or at the very least, excellent credit, to do something like this. Don&#8217;t forget, repairs and problems with the house will be your problem.</p>
<p>Get a TDA. Time Deposit Accounts are kind of like savings accounts with higher than normal interest rates. They&#8217;re one of those true continuous income ideas, because all you do is stick the money into an account and earn money off of it continually. Unfortunately, in this day and age, finding a high yield TDA is very difficult, which means you need a greater amount of money to see substantial passive income. You&#8217;ll also need to make sure you understand the terms and conditions of the particular TDA you choose.</p>
<p>These are just the basics to making passive income. All business ideas can be likened to a three legged stool. To truly create recurring/passive income, you will need to understand 2 other wealth creation principles.</p>
<p>Fortunately, one of our leading most noted authorities on passive income business opportunities Robert Kiyosaki released a new book titled &#8220;The Business of the 21th Century&#8217; he explains why a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/ezinearticles.com/?Passive-Income-Business-Opportunities---A-Fool-Proof-Wealth-Building-Method-to-Financial-Security_amp_id=4748940&amp;referer=');javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link/2954493']);" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Passive-Income-Business-Opportunities---A-Fool-Proof-Wealth-Building-Method-to-Financial-Security&amp;id=4748940">passive income business</a> is not only a solid and sound business method but it&#8217;s now&#8217; a critical NEED for creating financial security in today&#8217;s economic turbulent times.                </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>ACN a MLM Business &#8211; Opportunity Or Fake?</strong></p>
<p>ACN a MLM Business &#8211; Opportunity Or Fake?</p>
<p>MLM </p>
<p>would concern even the most prudent of researchers prior to considering joining such a opportunity. I&#8217;ll be pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of doing an ACN Business, and hopefully see if American Communication Network is a good fit for you.</p>
<p>ACN is a network marketing MLM business that provides its consumers with a variety of products and services, from low cost long and local phone services, the latest in video phones,high speed internet, satellite TV and Dish, plus home security with ADT. They have a reputation as a well defined MLM company claiming to be the largest in direct sales of communication services and products.</p>
<p>The opportunity of creating a income has people lining up taking a serious look into this MLM, but lets take a moment to define both the strengths and weakness, and see if ACN a MLM business-opportunity for you?</p>
<p>ACN- Strengths</p>
<p>ACN has been around since 1993 and still going strong, its leadership is guided by Robert Stevanovski, Mike and Tony Cupisz and Greg Provenzano a well seasoned team. Operating in over 20 countries spanning the globe with over a thousand employees to look after the needs of its independent business representatives with annual revenues of 0 million in sales and double digit growth claims yearly. Included in the mix a well know celebrity Donald Trump endorsing ACN publicly giving there street credit a real boost. Its products and services are used everyday by mainstream public- a variety of internet services, low cost telecommunication services, video and digital phones including home security and satellite TV plus Dish in most locations. Not a bad start.</p>
<p>          ]]&gt;</p>
<p>ACN- Weakness</p>
<p>The reality is that ACN has the look outwardly of being a good opportunity however I seriously doubt that you&#8217;ll find Donald Trump starting a ACN business of his own. Making the top positions will take considerable time and effort to achieve RVP or SVP sales, its more than knowing 3 that know 3 who get 3 and so forth.</p>
<p>The practicality of growing a ACN business successfully is that a independent business representative will simply go out and find a few people who are already using similar like product or services, and convince them to switch over for the income making side of things, opportunity. <br />One issue that will arise out of the gate early on is positioning.</p>
<p>ACN- The Reality</p>
<p>Like many of the other MLM&#8217;s companies, ACN instructs their distributors to go after their friends and family first. Leveraging their relationships &#8220;warm market&#8221; approach them by presenting the opportunity of creating vast wealth using the same &#8220;system&#8221;. The credibility issue that arises is initially the distributor is not making any money and so the distributor chases their upline who is making money and he or she now is positioned as a subordinate to someone else.</p>
<p>Now growing a successful business with ACN can prove to be a great opportunity in the long run. They have a great lineup of products and services but many people have pursued the opportunity and have not generated enough to write about. Then there are others who have created millions of dollars for themselves selling terrible products like the chia pet, pet rock or slinky. The significant difference individual and their ability to target their market successfully.</p>
<p>In Conclusion:</p>
<p>Growing a ACN business can be profitable if you know how to leverage the telephone, internet and other marketing tools effectively. It can be a great opportunity but success will be determined by your personal skill-sets as a marketer. This is not something that you can buy into and watch grow over time, it will require steadfast determination and effort on your part.</p>
<p>So if growing your ACN business is important and you don&#8217;t know where to start, my suggestion is to gain the knowledge necessary to insure your success or simply look at it as a way of saving some money on the products and services you already use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most companies go for business communication systems as they provide an opportunity to communicate efficiently. Some systems offer only basic functions such as email, while others may provide support for practically any kind of communication, from text to audio and video, as well as all three at once.</p>
<p>Business communication systems are valued for being able to exchange information between a company&#8217;s employees, customers, partners and suppliers. Contemporary systems are equipped with functions that previously fell to Private Branch Exchange (PBX) systems. Businesses are known to have used PBX systems for more than a century, which evolved over time and became more automated, switching from analogue to digital data transmission. And with the appearance of business networks and personal computers email has become an inalienable feature of inter-office and external communication systems.</p>
<p>Up-to-date business communication systems integrate multiple communication functions. The most basic communication systems provide support for email. More advanced types of communication systems may also support video conferencing and may integrate with IP telephony and email systems. Some may also offer support for such emerging business communication formats as instant messaging.</p>
<p>Business communication systems integrate email, telephone communications and other communications into a single, computer-based system which can help businesses reduce the number of specialist roles and lower personnel costs. On the other hand, computerised and network-based communication systems need robust, stable and reliable network infrastructures. Hence, companies wishing to move to more advanced integrated systems may first need to review their existing network capacity.</p>
<p>With sophisticated <a href="http://www.thelostring.com/" target="_blank">business communication</a> systems, companies can take advantage of many important benefits. For instance, a business communication system allows access to a variety of applications, including voicemail, database queries, soft phones, by using a single interface. Moreover, an advanced small business communication system allows company employees to collaborate in real time. This communications solution is also more cost-effective than a regular phone system. Employees can communicate with one another and with business partners, suppliers and customers using video, voice, data, and mobility applications.</p>
<p>Many business communication systems are designed and priced for small or medium-sized businesses. However, sometimes they may lack the in-house technical expertise to manage these systems. The good news is businesses don&#8217;t have to buy a communication system to take advantage of its features. They can simply use a hosted or a managed communication system, depending on their needs.</p>
<p>With a hosted service, the service provider is the owner of the equipment that supports a business communication system, being fully responsible for it. Thus, a company does not have to invest capital into its communication system, instead it pays a fixed monthly fee to the hosted service provider. Companies do not have to worry about supporting and maintaining the system and have permanent access to technical expertise when needed. You also don&#8217;t have to worry about disaster recovery.</p>
<p>With a managed service, companies own business communication systems and the equipment supporting it. But the system is entirely managed by an independent service provider. By outsourcing the communication system, businesses do not need in-house expertise to design, deploy and maintain it. At the same time, they pay an affordable monthly rate for the managed service.</p>
<p>All in all, using <a href="http://www.thelostring.com/" target="_blank">business</a> communication systems will ensure high efficiency that may lead to business success. Since most businesses need to constantly contact various clients business telephone systems that can be used to ensure proper communication between companies and their customers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone who has owned or worked for a business knows that the continual advancement of technology goes hand in hand with the advancement of business communication.  In the last ten years alone, the tremendous technological advancements that have taken place in communication have changed they way we do business so drastically that we view the communication trends of pre-2000 as &#8216;vintage&#8217;.  So in a conversation about current trends, be aware that in a few days they will be old trends.</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing/?referer=');">Cloud computing</a> is the latest trend to hit business communication.  The most simple way to describe cloud computing is by comparing it to an electricity grid.  A &#8216;cloud&#8217; of shared servers provides resources such as software and data to a host of other computers &#8211; all on demand.  In reality cloud computing is the natural evolution of the web-based world of communication.  It takes the management of the technological infrastructure out of the hands of the IT professionals, who can now focus on their areas of expertise such as development.  The use of cloud computing from a business communication standpoint brings in the discussion of finance.  Small to medium size businesses no longer have need to purchase, set up and maintain their own server.  Capital expenditure budgets are reduced, possibly entailing a conversion of those dollars to the operations expenditure side of the ledger.  Another huge benefit to cloud computing in business is how it lowers the barriers of entry into the market.  New businesses can simply supply themselves with the appropriate equipment to manufacture their product, a computer and an internet connection, and be ready to communicate to their customers.</p>
<p>The book reader is one of the latest trends to appear on the business communication horizon, but it is not clear if purveyors of commerce have fully appreciated its potential.  The book reader has the ability to scan printed material, recognize the characters and using text-to-speech software, play it on the user&#8217;s computer or mobile audio player.  In other words, you could listen to this article on your ipod.  Most business people receive their email on their phone and check, now large volume documents, contracts, training manuals and other printed matter could be downloaded to any device.  The affect on business communication is potentially quite significant, but the software is not widely tested or used as yet.</p>
<p>Social media networking has officially crossed over from only being used socially to an important and viable method of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer_relationship_management" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer_relationship_management?referer=');">customer relationship management</a> (CRM).  Using tools like Facebook, blogs, public forums and wiki sites, business can better know how to attract and keep their customers.  CRM begins with acquiring new customers through contact management, sales and customer satisfaction.  Enhancing CRM occurs through excellent business communication and the use of customer service tools such as product experts and ease of purchasing.  Retaining  customers occurs through loyalty and reward.  CRM software or databases can notify the business owner of long term clients and create the ability to recognize them through promotional measures.</p>
<p>Streamlining every phase of business communication will always be a trend in business.  Making it easier for your client to send and receive materials or communication from you is increasingly important.  Many companies are choosing to create interactive websites whereby the client can attain a report, invoice or product information whenever they feel the need.   This creates a whole new level of service quality, as well as opening up the field of business communication.  No longer does the client have to wait for 9 am Monday morning.</p>
<p>PowerPoint presentations have been around for over a decade, but they are still a valuable audiovisual tool in <a href="http://www.thelostring.com/" target="_blank">business communication.</a>  Dynamic presentations aimed at teaching the client about the product or service are full of impact and have a much clearer result than a one-dimensional oral presentation.  Even telephones are being used in a more purposeful way in business communication, and not always for talking. Email, text messaging and internet are readily available and highly useful tools for any business person.  Plus book readers (as previously mentioned) will soon allow business related documents to be read on a cell phone.</p>
<p>Technology will continue to advance and new communication devices will emerge.  The trick to successful business communication is in keeping up with trends and learning how they can make your business better.</p>
