What should you be teaching your students about mobile business communication and collaboration, interpersonal communication, and business etiquette? This presentation gives you just a glimpse.
Mobile Business Communication and Collaboration, Interpersonal Communication, and Business Etiquette
1. What You Should Be Teaching Your
Students about Mobile Business
Communication and Collaboration,
Interpersonal Communication,
and Business Etiquette
2. "Bovée and Thill are the only authors who explain and illustrate
in every chapter how mobile is revolutionizing business
communication.
“Surprisingly, although we’re in the midst of a mobile
revolution, no other business communication authors cover
mobile business communication, which should tell you
everything you need to know about which authors keep their
textbooks current.”
3. Don’t assume that colleagues and customers
around the world use the same communication
tools you use. For example, although mobile phone
usage is high in most countries around the world,
the percentage of users with smartphones and the
broadband service required for communication
services such a video varies widely.
4. An important aspect of mobile collaboration and mobile
communication in general is unified communication,
which integrates such capabilities as voice and video
calling, voice and video conferencing, instant messaging,
and real-time collaboration software in a single system.
5. Mobile device habits say a lot about how much respect you have for the
people around you. Selecting obnoxious ring tones, talking loudly in open
offices and public places, using your phone right next to someone else,
making excessive or unnecessary personal calls during work hours,
invading someone’s privacy with your phone’s camera without permission,
texting during meals, allowing incoming calls during meetings, are all
disrespectful choices that will reflect negatively on you.
6. Virtual assistants, such as the Siri voice recognizition
system on iPhones, raise an important etiquette
dilemma. From doing simple web searches to dictating
entire memos, these systems may be convenient for
users, but they can create distractions and annoyances
for other people. As with other public behaviors, think
about the affect you have on others before using these
technologies.
7. The Etiquette App helps you make appropriate choices
in a variety of social and business situations.
8. Freedcamp is a free collaboration and project management
system app.
9. WebEx Mobile gives you mobile access to one of the
world’s most popular online meeting platforms that
enables world-wide collaboration.
10. Locale can “geofence” your smartphone, automatically changing settings
based on your location—such as activating silent mode when you arrive at
your office to assure proper etiquette.
