WHAT IS WRITING IN BUSINESS?

Business writing is a type of written communication, usually with standard structure and style. It addresses the needs of specific audiences and concerns some specific business.

It serves as both the content and channel for one’s decisions, ideas, tasks, solutions, plans, and reflects your level of qualification, sense of culture and your personality. In fact, companies that use written communication with courage, innovation, and discipline are more effective at producing ideal business outcomes.

This type of communication is used almost everyday in the corporate world: from emails, memos, new policies and instructions to huge client presentations, research and development, and marketing campaigns.

Almost one third of business people spend their work time conveying information to others, another third — receiving and using this information. Thus, it is vitally important to be keen in this kind of office work.

Fundamentally, poor business writing is costly and leads to disastrous events. Great amount of money is lost due to insufficient writing skills among business people. It happens, for example, when a customer does not understand the email, marketing tool, or proposal by a company because of wrong grammar or awkward style and tone. Besides poorly written materials might form an undesirable impression of how a company runs its business.

5. Look through some examples of discourse and distribute them into two columns: oral and written. Give your comment on the way you are doing it.

1. Recent independent customer has shown a high level of customer satisfaction with our products and services.

2. I love being able to work out what a client needs and do it.

3. Basic office administration, typing letters and reports, bookkeeping, that sort of thing.

4. The number of delegates per conference has been falling down: last year there was on the average 430 delegates per conference, whereas the average was reached 400 this year.

5. I mean, customers have lots to read and may just put the newsletter in the bin.

6. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us at any time convenient to you.

7. Following recent discussions with divisional heads, the board has taken the decision to open an R&D facility in Scotland, UK, where a lot ground-breaking biotech work is taking place.

8. Do you think, can you predict that there’re going to be other new technologies coming out that will change business in the future in the same way that the Internet has?

6. Think about characteristic features of written type of communication compared to the oral contacts and write them down into the table.

7. Work in pairs. Look through the list of main principles of good writing and distribute them into three main elements of writing. Ask your partner how he or she understands these principles.

Element 1: Appropriate use of media__________________________________________________________

8. Complete the text with your ideas according to the tasks given in the text.

What is to be considered before writing a business letter?

A. The Purpose. This will serve as the direction, the reference, and the path of your details. This will set the tone, the style, and structure of your letter. This is your message and your goal. Defining your purpose will set things right at the very beginning. In your writing you may: inform, persuade, argue, invite, confirm information, make an inquiry, ask for approval, reject or approve, propose or suggest, etc. If your purpose is to excite and invite the employees to join the annual talent contest of the company as a team-building effort, you cannot bore them with long paragraphs explaining how the activity will help boost their productivity, write too formal sentences, or use heavy office or work jargon.

Task. Make your own profile of purpose in a business letter.

B. The Audience. Another significant step in order to make an impact on your audience is to know them. Look at company’s affairs in the Internet, consider its professional and financial position, and bear in mind religious, cultural and other sensitive issues. Your communication in this case would be much effective and profitable. You can also take a look at the company’s communication style through its public documents and press releases. This way, you know how you should convey your message to them. Use the right language.

Task. Write 3 sentences to congratulate the nearby school management and the financial department your pay taxes to with Christmas and New Year.

C. Questions to yourself to be put before writing. To feel your partner more comfortable it is good to put to yourself the guide questions as you develop your writing. One example of these questions is given. Example: Why does the reader care?

Task. Put some more questions.

How................ ?

What should ............?

When .............?

What happens ..............?

What ..................?

Who ……………………..? Why ...................?

Where does................ ?

9. The importance of being literate. Look through the text, analyze your skills in proper using English grammar and, if necessary, study or revise grammar rules. Use any grammar text-book.
