How Mobile Technology Is Revolutionizing Business Communication

11,490 views

Published on

This presentation previews the important points you should know about mobile business communication in the midst of today's mobile revolution.

Mobile communication, and mobile connectivity in the larger sense, is changing the way business communicators plan, create, and distribute messages. Mobile devices are overtaking PCs as the primary digital communication tool for millions of consumers, employees, and executives, and businesses that don’t get mobile-friendly in a hurry will fall behind.

For business communicators, the shift to mobile involves much more than the constraints of small screens and new input technologies. The ability to reach people anywhere at any time can be a huge advantage, but the mobile communication experience can also be a major challenge for senders and receivers alike. It requires new ways of thinking about information, message structures, and writing styles.

With the notion of radical connectivity, for example, many communication experiences are no longer about “batch processing” large, self-contained documents. Instead, communication is taking on the feel of an endless conversation, with recipients picking up smaller bits of information as needed, in real time, from multiple sources.

Only one author team is writing about mobile business communication: Bovee and Thill. In the 2015 editions of their business communication textbooks, you'll find important material about mobile in virtually every chapter of their books.
