Being a soldier in the United States Army, business communication plays a vital role in my day to day activities. As an organization we relied heavily on business communications. The role of business communication in the Army is vital to our overall accomplishment of missions. We relies heavily on email, training and verbal communications not mention video-conferences. This allows us to arrange meetings with our unit's Commanders, regardless of the location. As an organization we tend to use more nonverbal communication such as e-mail. This allows for us to have a more effective and rapid way to receive and transport information. We as an organization relay information throughout our organization, several ways such as reports, email, power points, telephone and the biggest one videoconferencing. By using nonverbal communication it helps us to manage our daily activities without the hassle of traveling from place to place. This process helps us to track movement of our troops as well as keeping in contact no matter where our soldiers may be at. Some of the trends I see in our organization, bulk is and over kill in e-mails, nonverbal communications that is not being absorbed. With the emerged of e-mail communication our Commanders are relying heavily on nonverbal communications. This trend has the potential to create problems, such as the lost of e-mails, security breach and the possibility of having our systems hacked or being exposed to various viruses. These trends has the potential not only be good, but can be bad also. With the constant change in technology, business communication has gone to a new level. Management tends to get away from the face to face approach to the more easier e-mail option. This can cause employee's in my case soldier's to have low moral without the interactions from our leaders. Soldiers feel as though they are part of a big mixing bowl instead of individuals. Business communication depends on personal preference or professional requirement. Like the old saying there are two sides to every story, in business communication there going to be to side to every form of communication. One must be able to analyze their audience, and be able to determine which form of communication will be the most effective and efficient. Business communications is something one must know to be successful in today's world.
