How to Write a Paper in a Business Course at Longwood College by Dr. C. Mitchell Adrian Longwood College Introduction Faculty interviews and discussions with business leaders have found that employee communication skills are still needed by businesses.
Technical writing is the style of writing found in business related academic and trade journals.
Technical writing tends to differ from the creative writing styles that most students have learned in English courses. As a result, requirements of this type of paper are somewhat foreign to many of our students. Thus, these students have often performed poorly when writing their first business oriented term papers. To help alleviate this problem, this manuscript provides basic instructions on how to write a technical style business paper. While the instructions provided are useful for all students, they are especially applicable to students in upper level and writing intensive business courses.
