Understanding the functions of interoffice communication is crucial when choosing the best channel in the workplace. Being able to analyze the audience and purpose of a scenario is an important skill to help you justify the necessity and effectiveness of your message.
Let’s explore a unique scenario in which a New York law firm asked a paralegal to find better options for sushi.
This request lead to the paralegal conducting research and generating a three-page memo complete with footnotes. The memo became an urban legend after an article about it was published in The New York Times.
Your task is to read The New York Times article to help you write answers for the following questions:
Explain why many people may think this memo is a joke. .What does the memo prepared say about the work environment at the law firm?
Did the writer choose the best delivery channel for this message? What would you use?
When would you use a memo/email to deliver a message? Use Correct APA Format. Your functions of interoffice communication paper should include an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. Also, support your answers with the course’s readings and at least two scholarly journal articles. The article’s purpose is to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook.
Sources ProQuest and EBSCOhost are great sites to find resources. Also, write in a concise and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. Additionally, the quality of your writing dictates grading criteria. On the other hand, if you use direct quotes from books or articles, place the words you copied (use parenthesis) and cite them in-line. Also, only use sources within the five-year range.
Additional Guidelines
The quotes should be complete sentences (no more, less) and should be incorporated in your essay to illustrate your ideas. Please, cite your sources in a clickable reference list at the end. Also, do not copy without providing proper attribution (quotation marks and in-line citations). Also, write an essay format, not in bullet form, numbering, or another list format. It would be best if you use your own words. Lastly, proofread your work and run it through Grammarly for thorough confirmation.
