Executives consistently state that being able to communicate is absolutely critical to success in business. A
knowledge of finance is useless unless you can communicate your ideas to others. It will help you learn to
work better in groups. Nothing in business is done except in a group environment. You will need to know how
to motivate people who were working with you and for you, and you will have to be able to work with others
in a cooperative manner. The best reports will be produced by cooperative teams, which discuss things and
help one another. Some of you will be good writers, and others will be good with word processing
(organizing/formatting/editing), and some will be good at identifying and analyzing the relevant points in the
cases. By combining those talents, the group can produce a better report than could one person working
individually.
