Business communications is a broad field that encompasses various aspects of communication within the the business. It involves the exchange of information, ideas, messages, and data to facilitate the functioning and success of an organization. The broad scope of business communications includes:

Internal Communications: This aspect focuses on communication within an organization. It includes communication between employees, teams, departments, and leadership. Internal communications aim to facilitate collaboration, disseminate important information, promote a positive workplace culture, and support organizational goals.

External Communications: External communications involve interactions with individuals and entities outside the organization. This can include communication with customers, clients, suppliers, partners, investors, regulatory bodies, government agencies, the media, and the general public. Effective external communication is essential for building and maintaining a positive brand image, managing relationships with stakeholders, and achieving business objectives.

While some may not differentiate between internal and external communications, they are different sides of the same coin. In my experience, the companies with stronger internal business communications connect better with external audiences (think sales, marketing, PR, etc). Internal business communications is primarily concerned with fostering communication and engagement among employees within an organization.
