Will Professional Communication Be the Death of Business Communication?
Locker, Kitty O.
Business Communication Quarterly, v66 n3 p118-32 Sep 2003
Reviews the growth of business and technical communication courses as college courses in universities. Documents the move to "professional" communication in English departments. Explains why technical communication dominates "professional" communication. Argues that faculty who teach business communication in business schools should care about terminological practices in English departments and show why "business" communication needs to retain an identity separate from "professional" communication.
