Helping Researchers Write...So Managers Can Understand

Researches and managers spend approximately 30 percent of their time writing and reading reports, memos, and proposals. The annual cost is huge. Battelle discovered that, despite this investment, managers find it hard to understand technical documents prepared by researchers because researchers are not trained to plan or write for managers. Helping Researchers Write addressed these problems. Tapping the author's extensive experience, the book suggests practical steps researchers can take plus effective stategies managers can implement to cut costs, improve document usefulness, and upgrade writing skills.
