Business leaders have consistently cited the declining writing skills of graduates as one of the major training challenges that face them in the workplace. Indeed, some have identified business writing as one of the more difficult forms of communication for employees to master. Yet, business writing is an integral part of success for many people in business, especially those in supervisory or management roles. Teachers and professors have been responding to this need by increasing the emphasis on business writing in the classroom. Business writing includes writing memos, reports, performance evaluations, e-mails, press releases, and policy manuals, among others.
Organized writing tells readers that the writer is organized in thought as well as writing.
Poorly written and disorganized communication tells the world that the writer is a sloppy, disorganized thinker. Write with your intended audience in mind. Know your objective. Decide which essential information to include. Decide how to present the information.
