BUS1773 Business Etiquette & Protocol

The modern workplace seems like a vastly different environment from the stodgy, straight-laced companies in the past.  Jeans and T-shirts can be acceptable attire and if the company is successful it seems like employees do not have to adhere to rigid rules of conduct.  A less rigid office environment may lead some people to feel that business etiquette rules are obsolete, but that appearance of freedom is an illusion.  Businesses operate under a clearly defined code of etiquette that allows for smooth interpersonal relationships and efficient work standards.

This course will enable a student to understand how to identify the rules of business ethics in a changing social platform.  It will examine the fundamentals of business etiquette. Students will learn what types of conduct are expected of employees and employers and how to enact them in the workplace.  This course will equip students to be successful in the modern work environment.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Business Etiquette & Protocol II will delve into the purpose of a codified etiquette system in modern businesses.  It will detail the various areas of application for etiquette protocol.  It will explain specific rules of conduct that apply to different areas.  By the end of this course the student will know:

  • The purpose and intent of business etiquette
  • The basic types of business etiquette
  • Standards of dress and grooming
  • Proper greetings and introductions
  • Etiquette at meals and social functions
  • Methods to improve interpersonal interaction
  • How the use of technology applies to modern-day etiquette
