"There are many technical and professional communication textbooks in publication. Each serves its own purpose. The purpose of this text is to provide a communication foundation for professionals in business and technical industries. Whereas some business and technical communication books seek to guide technical writers, this book seeks to guide those whose roles do not exclusively require writing and editing, but rather those whose responsibilities from day to day demand a focus in technical or business careers where a professional level of communication is required to meet the demands of the jobs. Whether these jobs happen to be in engineering, accounting, finance, or computer science, we believe that the subjects and guidance addressed n this book will be useful. We have considered and addressed what we believe to be the most critical communication-oriented needs of professionals, especially those who will be entering the workforce following the completion of their degree."--Page xi.
