Have you ever Googled yourself ? Have you ever checked your virtual identity? Do you know that you leave a digital footprint every time you get online? Do you know that whatever you do online is accumulated into a digital dossier traceable by others? These and several other similar questions are but the emerging tip of the sinking iceberg--one that is packed full of concerns related to issues of our online identity and privacy issues.
Bovee & Thill's Online Magazines for Business Communication's insight:
Managing one’s digital identity is a skillthat we need to learn and teach our kids and students about. In a world digitally focused, the boundaries between the real and virtual are blurred. As teachers and educators, we need to be a role model for our students and show them how they can interact with the virtual world and what they should do to keep themselves safe. . .

When you think of typos, you think of grammar and poor middle school grades. It’s hard to imagine that in this day and age a typo of any serious consequence can make it through the cracks, with spell-check being an automatic feature in most email services and office software.
Bovee & Thill's Online Magazines for Business Communication's insight:
The typo, it seems, will likely never go away completely because its very existence is a reflection of the human element in everyday life. It usually also seems like the consequences of some of these more influential typos result in some people winning some people losing. Is it karma or luck? Here are some of the more expensive and prominently featured typos and errors in the last decade or so. Delete the scoop?

When you tell your business story, give your customers insider access to what goes on behind closed doors.
Bovee & Thill's Online Magazines for Business Communication's insight:
Our culture has an interesting fascination with getting behind closed doors. We love to know what is going on behind the scenes or behind the curtain. We aren’t just satisfied with what is happening. Our curiosity gets the best of us and we want to know the “how” and the “why” of things. This is one of the reasons why we see so many new DVDs released with extra scenes, commentary, and behind the scenes footage. It’s why many of us enjoy watching or listening to documentaries. And we all love a good story. . . Note: Some of the most effective business messages, from advertising to proporsals to personal branding, rely on storytelling techniques. Only Bovee & Thill offer hands-on advice and multiple activities to help students develop "business-class" narrative techniques. Delete the scoop?

English is often considered to be the international language of business, but, as business grows more global, it's becoming more important than ever for executives and employees to respect other cultures' business customs.
Bovee & Thill's Online Magazines for Business Communication's insight:
When traveling to other countries to do business, research is key. In some countries, actions that Americans take for granted, like looking a superior in the eye, can be considered rude. While in America business meetings are all about business, in many nations it's disrespectful not to inquire about one's health and family before talking about business matters. . .

Can you tap a resource to execute the next project? Make sure you get it on their radar screen and really sweat the asset to get it done. Business jargon is somewhat incomprehensible but always dehumanizing, demoralizing and demotivating. In offices all across the United States, we hear these phrases uttered at a constant pace. They make employees feel less than human and like a replaceable part in the massive corporate machine. However, it is simple enough to rehumanize that dehumanizing business jargon. . .
