From the Paper:

"With the most fundamental transaction, business is a form of human communication. A vendor and buyer communicate: each wanting something from the exchange and expressing that need through verbal or nonverbal cues. When businesses and their surrounding markets become more complex, the need for communications skills becomes more apparent. A vendor might need to sell goods and services to a foreign market, demanding some basic knowledge of language and culture. The vendor who needs to hire employees will also need to learn how to manage that team. Ultimately, businesses need to communicate their business and services to the prospective consumer market."
