        Business Writing Questions

        There are generally 4 types of business writing, namely: Instructional Business Writing – providing the reader with the information needed to complete a task: e.g. User Manual/Specifications/Memo/Handbooks To provide a standard practice on how to complete a specific task Informational Business Writing – For reference or record: Report/Financials/Minutes of meeting/Meeting agendas/Inventory trackers Does not need reader’s action, for reference only Persuasive Business Writing – associated with Sales: Proposals/Sales Email/Press Release/Newsletters/Marketing & Promotional content To give a unique value proposition about a business Transactional Business Writing – Everyday communication (mostly by email): Emails/Dismissal notice/Response to customer complaint letters For day-to-day use, generally direct Requiring action from the reader
        To create the change, you are seeking In the broad view, for example: To change the public’s opinion about your company To create loyalty for your product In the narrow view, for example: To get your boss to prioritize your problem, you are facing, and consider your proposed solutions To garner co-operation with the reader To persuade your reader Ultimately, a positive change should be felt by the reader after finish reading
        Be accurate and relevant: avoid incorrect or irrelevant information. Be clear: write concisely. Do not write unnecessarily, long sentences. Do not write to impress. Write to express. Have correct grammar and sentence structure. Make your writing easy to “scan” for readers to glance through. Connect with the recipient. Not just communicating an idea or action.
        Having a well-defined purpose to your writing Clear and concise language Keeping your audience in mind Professional conversational tone – readers prefer this Organised ideas Active voice Word choice – avoid cryptic or buzzwords that your audience may not understand.
        The writer's attitude to the reader and the title of the information are aspects of tone. The effect of an overall tone of a written message is similar to that of one's tone of voice. Helpful to note that unlike verbal communication, it is not possible to rely on non-verbal communication signals.
        Tone is important because it gives your message to the reader in different ways, depending on how you write. If your tone is wrong, it can make obscure the message to the reader. The appropriate tone should be used according to the following 3 factors: Audience – Who are your audience? Message – What is the content of your writing? Medium – Where will your writing appear? Your tone should not be generic: have your own variant tone, based on your personality
        The goal depends on what you want to get your reader to feel/understand/empathise/etc. To know this goal, try to articulate the purpose of the writing to your self Perhaps it may be to make a specific business decision. Alternatively, to tell what you want the reader to do.
        Following company guidelines – organisations may require employees to use standard writing guidelines: e.g. APA format Using the right tone for your audience Business letters: keep short and simple, succinct words. Do not write long-winded sentences. State purpose, keep it conversational, stay away from jargon, use active voice Acknowledgement letters: to show that you have accepted something, usually for professional courtesy. Adjustment letters: Keep tone humble, acknowledge the mistake and list possible solutions.
        Written communication is a fundamental skill for all jobs, at all levels of hierarchy. It is important, because Ensures effective business communication -> connect with stakeholders Helps to secure a job quickly -> employers prefer professionals who are good at composing clear messages Establishes good web presence Vital to success in business A means of communication to get things done: e.g. getting employees to be productive, customers to buy your product or service.
        A business writer: Prepares reports (e.g. sales proposals, internal projects, annual financial report, strategic plans, etc.) Research their topics (e.g. by reading books/internet), and organising their information. Writes for Public relation – Writing for the press release Business communications – Writing for internal or external people (e.g. Newsletters, Company-wide Memos, Annual reports) Marketing communications – Writing for selling a product or service
        This is differentiated by their subject matter: Technical writing: Science, engineering, technology (e.g. Specifications, manuals, datasheets, research papers, field reports and release notes.) Business writing: Everything else except journalism and creative writing (e.g. reports, emails, proposals, white papers, minutes, business cases, letters, bids, copy writing, and tenders) The tone differs: Technical writing tends to have only a neutral tone, as its only goal is to clearly and effectively explain. Business writing has a variety of tones depending on the audience, and the goal of the business.
        They are skills in writing work. All jobs and profession require writing work. It is essential to master this skill for people to hold you in a professional light. Professional writing shows that you are credible, smart, and trustworthy. Professional writing is different from ordinary writing, requiring a particular skill.
        Corporate writing is to write for business purposes. Business writers specialise in this. There are broadly four types: Instructional Business Writing, Informational Business Writing, Persuasive Business Writing, and Transactional Business Writing. Some says that current corporate writing is too “stiff” and bureaucratic in tone. Corporate writing may also use a consistently applied style that will integrate a corporation’s method of communication, which raises its recognition by the public.
        Good effective writing involves a series of steps. The first step is to understand who your audience is to determine your purpose of writing. Then ensure that your writing is clear and concise. Do not have unnecessary words, phrases or statements, as they interrupt the flow of your points and distract your reader. Having Organization and Structure Correct Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation.
        There are four types: Formal and informal Oral and written Verbal and non-verbal Internal and external: Internal Upward – from subordinate to manager Internal Downward – from manager to subordinate Internal Lateral – from co-worker to co-worker External – any communication outside the organisation
        Report writing is a formal style, writing in great detail about a specific topic. A report is a systematic and well-organised presentation of facts and findings of an event that has already taken place someplace. It is a reproduced account of something that one has observed, heard, done, or investigated. Reports are utilised as a form of written assessment to find out what you have learned from your studies, research or experience and to give you an experience of an essential skill.
        A business report can be an evaluation of the performance of a business operation, or type of assignment in which you examine a situation (either a real situation or a case study) and apply theories to produce a range of recommendations for improvement. Business reports are assigned to: Examine available and potential answers to a dilemma, situation, or issue. Apply theory to a practical situation. Showcase your analytical, logic, and evaluation skills in comparing possible solutions and outcomes. Reach conclusions about a problem or issue. Provide recommendations for future action. Show concise and clear communication skills.
          Business writing is a kind of professional communication that typically consists of emails, letters, and other reports. A stable of the work environment, business writing helps employees communicate. Business writing is typically used for communication with outside sources such as other companies or customers. The purpose of business writing is to clearly define to your audience what you are trying to represent.
        Improve these following aspects: 1) Subject line: An important but perhaps frequently overlooked element of emails. This sets the expectation of the email content. 2) Opening introduction: enclose a quick greeting to recognise the reader. 3) Body: Be clear, concise, and to the point. This part contains the "meat" of the email. 4) Closing sentence: Part with the reader well and sign-off with a light tone.
        To develop an effective business writing style: use precise sentences, simple structures, active voice. Write from the company's perspective and more univocally. Avoid nominalizing verbs, which may involve changing verbs into nouns. Know the agents of actions. Suggest on the action to be taken, rather than referring to mental states.
        A writer’s tone is very important, because it affects how the reader takes your message. Tone in writing can be described as what the writer feels. How the writer feels would be unconciously be transmitted to his or writing. The importance of tone is underlined in the voice, attitude, and personality of the writing - influencing the writing's flavor. Tone is also a critical tool to address your chosen audience, shape the purpose, and push forth the desired outcome.
          Have a clear objective: this makes everything logical and straight forward. Be absolutely understanding of the reader's perspective, needs, wants and concerns to tailor your message exactly right. Have a writing process. Get feedback from readers. Pay heed to these issues: poor or illogical structure, verbose, boring writing, and wrong grammar and punctuation. Having a writing process helps too - start little by little, and you will be able to finish the writing faster. After all, Rome was not built in one day.
          Uses plain language. Has a purpose. Makes a point, and supports that point with relevant information. Has information that is connected. Uses appropriate words in concise, accurate sentences. Is persuasive. Includes a call to action. If you want to be effective in business, your message must be impossible to misunderstand. Effective communication allows us to share information that contributes to our business’s success.
        There are several different styles of referencing. Some of the most popular ones include APA, MLA, Oxford, Harvard, and Chicago referencing styles. Do look up their own rules for citing your sources correctly. These styles can be grouped as follows: Author-date styles (APA, MLA, and Harvard), and Documentary-note styles (Chicago and Oxford).
        This is a contentious issue. Many people disagree about indenting in email because it is not standard practice. The standard practice is to do it in the full-block style. However, there is no official rule saying you cannot indent. People do think that not indenting is standard practice in emails, as people focus on the left margin. For other mediums of writing besides email, indenting may be okay.
