Introduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In today’s corporate world, Written Communication is about transferring a message as effectively and economically as possible, so that the reader is in no doubt at all of the message which the writer seeks to convey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the transferring of a message is not all that is done by the business writer; with the overt message come attitudes and agenda. Every piece of communication has an underlying message and a goal. The writer must ask, “What do I expect to achieve from this? How do I intend to influence and guide my reader’s thought- processes and decision-making? What is the goal that I am seeking?” For the writer to ask such questions, he\/she must have a clear view of the whole scenario into which the report, or any other document, fits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The writer must display professionalism and dignity by choosing the appropriate style for the document. The writer is faced with many choices. The vocabulary \/ style choices that he\/she makes will display the degree of interest, care and respect for the reader. At another level, the writer must display professionalism by ensuring that grammatical forms are accurate and do not allow for the possibility of misunderstandings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Documents should be CLEAR, CONCISE, COMPLETE, CORRECT, COURTEOUS, COHESIVE, COMPELLING & COMMUNICATIVE. This course seeks to cover all of these areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
