Writers are encouraged to base style and format choices on the reader s needs and perspective as well as the writer s goal.
Style is a distinctive manner of expression or a technique by which something is done or created.
After reading the section on style study differences by returning to the examples you collected from your workplace last week. Look for style differences especially in tone of the report. Look for differences in formality, objectivity, and confidence of the writer. A writer formats the business report to enhance readability. Since internal or external reports that exceed three pages are generally written in manuscript format this is the one that should interest you the most for this course.
