Abstract
Business communication is a global phenomenon where business communicators from around the world are interacting in a diverse, differentiated and expanding global communication environment. Facilitated by the development of telecommunication technologies and due to the expanding volume of international trade as well as globalised business operations, changes in business communication patterns and practices have outpaced the development of an integrated theory to explain fully the evolving patterns of business communication. Differing communication networks have emerged where culture and language differences have impacted the communication among businesspeople from different world areas.
