Announcing the Groundbreaking 16th Edition of Business Communication Today by Bovee and Thill

Courtland Bovee and John Thill unveil the groundbreaking Business Communication Today, 16th Edition, the first textbook to seamlessly integrate AI into every chapter. Published by Pearson, this edition redefines business communication education, blending AI-driven insights with timeless skills to prepare students for future success.

New York, NY, March 2, 2025 — Revolutionizing business education once again, Courtland Bovee and John Thill proudly announce the release of the groundbreaking 16th edition of Business Communication Today—published by Pearson—where artificial intelligence meets time-tested principles. For the first time, artificial intelligence (AI) is seamlessly integrated into every chapter, making this the first and only business communication textbook currently on the market to offer comprehensive AI coverage.

This edition is poised to make all other business communication textbooks obsolete, thanks to its innovative approach and AI-driven insights. Designed to prepare students and professionals for the evolving demands of modern business, this textbook sets a new benchmark for teaching and learning.

Empowering Students for the Future of Business Communication

“This isn’t just a textbook; it’s a blueprint for thriving in the age of AI,” says Courtland Bovee. “We’re giving students the tools to master cutting-edge technologies while preserving the timeless skills that make communication authentic and impactful.”

Key Features include:

• AI-Driven Learning – Each chapter delves into essential business communication topics through the lens of artificial intelligence, offering practical guidance on leveraging AI tools for tasks such as business writing, creating presentations, conducting virtual meetings, managing social media, and enhancing visual communication.

• Real-World Scenarios – Students engage with case studies from leading organizations such as Microsoft, Google, and Shopify to see AI in action.

• Ethics and Human Connection – Special emphasis is placed on the ethical considerations of AI and the importance of maintaining authenticity and empathy in communication.

• Neuroscience-Backed Design – Innovative teaching tools aligned with how students naturally learn and retain information ensure deeper comprehension and long-term application of concepts.

“We’ve set out to redefine what a business communication textbook can achieve,” adds John Thill. “This edition doesn’t just teach communication; it teaches clarity and conciseness, active listening, and emotional intelligence—skills that are highly valued in today’s business environment.”

Why This Edition Stands Out

Unlike other textbooks that merely reference AI as an emerging trend, Business Communication Today integrates AI seamlessly into its framework, preparing students to use these tools effectively while highlighting the irreplaceable value of human creativity and empathy.

“Business communication isn’t just about tools—it’s about trust and connection,” says Thill. “We’re preparing students to amplify their strengths and lead in a world where AI is transforming the way we work and communicate.”

Bovee continues, “This edition equips educators to inspire the next generation of professionals to harness technology without losing their humanity. It’s a bold vision for the future of business communication education.”
