For business communication faculty. I'll email you when the book and instructor samples are available, and only about the book.

What endures, and how to adapt it

We set out to write an updated, AI-forward textbook that keeps the basics of communication at its center. Those fundamentals don't change when the tools do. The book applies those lasting principles to a workplace that is changing fast, so students learn both what endures and how to adapt it.

  • Shaped by students. A UT Dallas Center for Teaching and Learning working group asked students what they like and dislike in textbooks, and what helps them learn.
  • Reviewed by faculty. Business communication professors reviewed the chapters as they were drafted, so the book fits the way the course is actually taught.
