Document Summary

In addition to ethical guidelines, business communication is also bound by a wide variety of laws and regulations, including the following areas: Marketing specialists need to be aware of the many laws that govern truth and accuracy in advertising. A contract is a legally binding promise between two parties, in which one party makes a specified offer and the other party accepts. A variety of local, state, and federal laws govern communication between employers and both potential and current employees. In an age when instant global connectivity makes it effortless to copy and retransmit electronic files, the protection of intellectual property (ip) has become a widespread concern. Finance and accounting professionals who work for publicly traded companies must adhere to stringent reporting laws. Negative comments about another party raise the possibility of defamation, the intentional communication of false statements that damage character or reputation. (written defamation is called libel; spoken defamation is called slander. )
